What we do

FUND | CONNECT | TRAIN

We ignite civic engagement and hyperlocal infrastructure at the intersection of business support services, leadership development, supplier diversity, social and financial capital.

Black Girl Ventures (BGV) funds early staged revenue-generating businesses (under $1M) across the US.

Our founders raise 2x the national average in funding, grow their social capital 10x and 51% go on to enter into accelerators and incubators to continue developing their ventures.

BGV has impacted over 20,000 people across 64 countries. Our founders represent $10M+ in revenue and over 3,000 jobs for the US economy.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower underrepresented and underfunded small businesses by providing them with access to community, capital, and capacity-building resources. Our goal is to help these businesses achieve key milestones that drive economic advancement through entrepreneurship.
