About Us
We are redistributing economic and social power to foster competitive regional economies.
We provide unrestricted funding, non-prescriptive advising, and story amplification for Black, Indigenous, and other diverse founders by executing locally driven, founder-first solutions that help them serve as community leaders and job creators.
Our Values
Our four key values highlight how we embody building F.A.I.R. entrepreneurial ecosystems:
01
Founder First
Executing locally driven solutions should be guided by founders.
02
Access
Redistributing resources through catalytic connections expands community.
03
Impact
Valuing diverse founders as smart investments brings equity to start-up ecosystems.
04
Responsibility
Innovating and building sustainably for the next generation inspires possibilities.
What makes our approach unique?
We’ve been doing this for almost ten years.
We invest in founders with unrestricted and non-dilutive funding alongside non-prescriptive advising and story amplification.
We are a New York City-based organization committed to redistributing access and resources available to dominant entrepreneurial markets. We are focused on Atlantic cities (The Bronx, Newark, Philadelphia), South Central cities (Louisville, Houston, Tulsa), and Tribal Nations.
We prioritize social impact and community-driven founders, operating under the themes of regenerative business, frontier technology, and creative media.
We meet our founders where they are - VC funding may not be for everyone, but we support our founders in building a legacy that meets the needs of their communities.
We connect and prepare founders for the next stage.
