Lunar Startups, a program of American Public Media and the Knight Foundation, is a new model for startup acceleration specializing in growth, connection, and innovation for entrepreneurs who identify as women, Black, Indigenous, people of color, and LGBTQ+. I have (remotely) headed up digital, email and social media marketing, communications, and content for Lunar since December 2019. This includes collaborations with nationally-recognized VC firm Backstage Capital, navigating and transitioning Lunar’s work to adapt to COVID-19 social distancing measures, and using comms and social strategy to double the amount of applicants to join Lunar Startup’s third cohort.
