Black Founder Startup Grant: Empowering Female Entrepreneurs

Black Founder Startup Grant

The Black Founder Startup Grant by SoGal is set to eradicate low to no funding for black female-owned businesses. Black women founders are the fastest-growing demographic of entrepreneurs out of any throughout history. These founders are best equipped to solve some of the world’s largest unmet needs and have a legacy of reinvesting in their communities and creating intergenerational wealth. However, Black women entrepreneurs are met with the greatest barriers to accessing capital.

They believe in a brighter future where the next world-changing business is not unrealized because of systemic discrimination.
