Conversations about tech entrepreneurship are often centered around venture capital and how to get investor buy-in. Black & Brown Founders works with people as early as “idea stage”, helps them launch a business tailored to their most valuable skills, and start making sales.
We believe that profitability is more important than fundability, because it ensures that our founders have options as they grow. We’re not just creating awareness, but changing how people think about startups.
