Intel Capital is set to take a hand in closing the gap. The venture capital firm established a $125 million program designed to support IT startups run by women and underrepresented minorities, according to a CIO report. This program comes on the heels of Intel’s separate $300 million initiative aimed at increasing the number of women and minorities in its own workforce.
