WHY PARTNER AS AN INVESTOR ALLY

Justice tech represents both a unique challenge and an extraordinary investment opportunity. Many founders in this space come from underrepresented and justice-impacted communities – those closest to the problem and best positioned to solve it. Yet they receive less than 2% of venture capital funding, despite research showing that diverse founding teams deliver 30% higher returns at exit.*

JTA bridges this gap by providing early-stage support, ecosystem access, and visibility. As an Investor Ally, you back the future of justice innovation.

CENTERING EQUITY IN INNOVATION

Justice tech founders bring lived experience to the systemic barriers they’re solving. Founders from diverse teams not only outperform on returns – they design solutions that reach farther and do more good. Your support helps close the early-stage funding gap and amplifies innovations that wouldn’t otherwise reach the people who need them most.
