Nothing is Stronger than a Community
Investing in Itself
We’re bring together a community of founders, funders, HBCU alumni, and faculty. Together, we collaborate to move capital and bridge opportunities that create lasting impact within Black communities. Through summits, intimate dinners, and learning experiences, we build relationships that go beyond investment, creating a community rooted in shared purpose and action.
Family and Friends Dinner Series
Our Family and Friends Dinner Series are intimate gatherings designed to forge deep, meaningful connections between founders and investors. In a relaxed, welcoming setting, we share meals that nourish both body and community, creating the space for candid conversations and relationship-building. These dinners cultivate a unique bond, where being well-fed leads to founders being well-funded, ensuring that trust and shared purpose are at the heart of every investment.
HBCU Faculty Retreats
Our HBCU Faculty Retreats are convenings that bring together professors and thought leaders from HBCUs to form meaningful connections with venture leaders and investors. These connections spark partnerships that catalyze the transformation of HBCU institutions, turning relationships into real opportunities for students, faculty, and the broader academic community. Through these retreats, we empower HBCU faculty to bring new ideas and resources back to their institutions, driving lasting change across the entire HBCU ecosystem.
Alumni Angel Investing Summit
Our Alumni Angel Investing Summit brings together HBCU alumni to learn the fundamentals of angel investing and explore it as a powerful tool for wealth building within our community. These summits provide opportunities for alumni to connect with seasoned investors, learn about investment strategies, and discover how they can support Black-led startups. We aim to increase access to capital by building new entry points—leveraging HBCU alumni who qualify as accredited investors to kickstart a wealth chain in our community by investing in ourselves. Through collaborative discussions and expert-led sessions, we equip our alumni community with the knowledge and networks needed to become influential angel investors, driving capital to where it’s needed most.
