Black History Month — In Conversation with Eric Collins

Latham & Watkins' Black Lawyers Group is pleased to invite you to our annual Black History Month event.

We will be joined by Eric Collins, CEO and Founding Member of Impact X — a venture capital firm, founded to support underrepresented entrepreneurs across Europe. Eric is a serial entrepreneur, investor, technology executive, and host of Channel 4 business show The Money Maker.

In his debut book, We Don't Need Permission: How Black Business Can Change Our World, Eric argues that investing in Black and underrepresented entrepreneurs is the surest and fastest socio-economic game changer there is.

In 2018, The Financial Times named him among the UK’s top 100 BAME leaders in technology. Since 2019 Eric has been voted one of the most influential Black people in Britain on The Powerlist.

We hope you can join us.
