Black & Brown Founders
We provide community, education, and access to Black and Latinx entrepreneurs, allowing them to launch and build tech businesses with modest resources.
Rewrite the Playbook
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.
We provide culturally relevant information about bootstrapping through online education and events.
