The List Completes Startup Academy, Competes For Investment Dollars

El Segundo-based The List, a startup which operates a matchmaking service for business professionals, is one of four, female-led startups which is part of Beta Boom, a startup accelerator focused on training traditionally overlooked founders, such as women and people of color. According to Beta Boom, The List--founded by Constance Curtis--is part of a group of startups which is near completion of a six month program, the Beta Boom 2020 Women's Startup Academy--which culminates with a competition for $10K in funding judged by investors and others from Elevate Capital, Salesforce Ventures and Hustle Fund, among others. The List says it offers up "modern" matchmaking for business professionals, who don't want to waste countless hours online dating or spend a fortune on a traditional matchmaker.
