Supporting Black Businesses
Playing a Role in the Capital Ecosystem
Hosted by Davis Wright Tremaine’s Project W
Format: Zoom Meeting
While data is shining a light on the severe health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic within the black community, we must recognize that the impact of this crisis on black entrepreneurs will be equally if not more devastating. Already capital-starved small businesses led by entrepreneurs of color are the ones least likely to receive government stimulus. Without a lifeline, they will not survive and any gains that the black community has made toward building wealth through small business ownership will be eradicated.
The Making of Black Angels campaign was created to encourage greater participation within the black community in angel investing and throughout the capital ecosystem. During this three-part virtual conversation, we will share our strategy for collective action to support black entrepreneurs through this time of crisis.
Through these sessions, you will:
- Learn what angel investing is and the critical role it serves for black entrepreneurs
- Get a step-by-step understanding of the deal process
- Gain insights about the capital ecosystem from existing investors
- Network with others who are committed to closing the wealth gap
We’ll end with an entrepreneur showcase as an opportunity to put what you learn into practice with a real entrepreneur from our Women of Color Community!
This event, presented by the Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership, is hosted by Davis Wright Tremaine’s Project W. Learn more about Project W.
