For generations, Black innovators and entrepreneurs have driven cultural and economic growth, launching businesses, shaping industries, and influencing trends that define global markets. Yet too often, these visionaries have had to build with limited resources, navigating systems that have not always recognized or supported their contributions.

Smaller, underrepresented businesses have often been left to compete without the same tools, networks, or scale.
