WHAT WE DO

APPROACH

OUR APPROACH

Our approach is global and data-driven. There is no such a thing as a“ Black economy” that can thrive isolated from regional, national, and global economies. An ecosystem that provides the tools, connections and support for founders from under-represented communities is not only a necessary step for the growth of each region but also to reach the potential for our global market. 

We believe that beyond inclusion for fair play and basic decency, ignoring certain social groups that represent major markets is just bad business. We as a global society are operating with a fraction of our potential, and missing out on large opportunities for investments and knowledge.

OUR WORK

Our aim is to widen the channel of investment and resources for Black Founders on a global scale while providing investors with highly-qualified deal flows, thoroughly vetting our startups to ensure they have strong performance indicators for future success. 

In doing so, we help amplify the investors pipeline for founders by matching the right investor to the right entrepreneur, creating meaningful connections in the process. To carry out this work, we first need to identify who the entrepreneurs are in each region and analyze the ecosystem in which they operate to better understand the gaps and opportunities.
