THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT WE DO
Our work is directed towards system change and engages the following focus areas.

Capacity Building
Through signature initiatives like “resource” and Sustainability Summit, we support how entrepreneurs build skills, teams and capital.
Narrative Change
Through efforts like Boundary Breakers, we are lifting up powerful and varied examples of what Black innovation looks like beyond the clickbait and stereotypes.


Advocacy
The Congressional Caucus on Black Innovation, launched as a direct result of our advocacy, is one way we’re leveraging our power and having our say to drive generational change.
Research
Through initiatives like the Black Innovation Census, we are delivering key insights that enable the development of a smart, high-performance ecosystem.
