Description: In July 2020, The California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) Innovation Fund engaged The West Coast Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP) and the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Innovation Studio in a project to identify evidence-based strategies to increase diversity Among funded health tech founders, with the ultimate goal of creating a set of recommendations to support the CHCF Innovation Fund investing in more Black, Latinx, and female founders. This landscape analysis presents an overview of existing interventions from around the world intended to address the lack of diversity among funded health tech founders by looking at both healthcare and analogous industries. For the purpose of this landscape analysis, diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) is focused on Black, Latinx and female founders. Corresponding Author: Juan Espinoza, jespinoza@chla.usc.edu
