📉 Take a look at the reality behind the numbers.
These aren’t talent gaps. They’re capital, power, and access gaps.
Tomorrow, on Juneteenth, we release our full State of Black Venture Report. It’s a benchmark and an industry-wide call to action.
We know that who controls capital shapes who controls the future. Stay tuned.
In venture, access to capital isn’t just about who gets funded—it’s about who designs the systems that shape funding itself.
🎥 Kareema Thomas, BLCK VC’s Chief Strategy Officer, shares how we’re building the infrastructure, programs, and pathways that move Black fund managers from early-stage to long-term scale.
The full State of Black Venture Report drops on Juneteenth.
