The Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center has released new research from its Venture Equity Project (VEP), supported by JPMorganChase and Nasdaq. The study focuses on advancing equity in entrepreneurship and highlighting successful programs that catalyze funding for underrepresented entrepreneurs. The research evaluated how each U.S. state shapes opportunities for Black, Hispanic, and Women founders.

Key findings include the top 5 states advancing equity for each group of entrepreneurs. The study also identified seven Equity Innovation Leaders states: Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, and Texas. Three standout states—Florida, Texas, and Georgia—are scoring high for entrepreneurship success equity and emerging as up-and-coming ecosystems.

The research suggests that areas with higher rates of underrepresented business success attract more venture capital to those underrepresented businesses. The complete findings from the Venture Equity Project can be found on the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center's website.
