What Is This Event?
We are a monthly meet-up designed to support Black Entrepreneurs with starting and growing their businesses. This is a PRIVATE event for active Black Entrepreneurs, those wanting to become Entrepreneurs, and Investors looking to support the community.
The Culture
Our culture is our strongest asset, and we have a give first mindset.
We are here to help each other, and that happens in 3 ways:
