Why
Why Supporting Black Women,
Women of Color, and
Disenfranchised Entrepreneurs
is a Game Changer
Black women and women of color are among the fastest-growing groups of entrepreneurs in the U.S., yet they face systemic challenges that hinder their success. From Black women to Latinx women and other disenfranchised communities, many struggle to gain access to the capital, mentorship, and networks essential for growth.
Investing in Black women, women of color, and disenfranchised entrepreneurs isn’t just about individual success—it’s about catalyzing economic and social transformation. When we support these leaders, we create a ripple effect that extends beyond their businesses—creating jobs, inspiring innovation, and uplifting entire communities. This is how we drive generational change.

These visionaries hold immense potential, but they often face disproportionate challenges: limited access to capital, networks, and mentorship that are crucial for entrepreneurial success.
