Black Girl Ventures (BGV) funds early-stage, revenue-generating businesses with under $1 million in revenue. We ignite civic engagement and strengthen local infrastructure across the U.S. by offering business support services, leadership development, supplier diversity, and both social and financial capital. While we typically support ventures from any industry, specific funding partnerships may require us to focus on certain sectors.
Our founders raise twice the national average in funding, grow their social capital tenfold, and 51% go on to join accelerators and incubators to further develop their ventures. BGV has impacted over 20,000 people across 64 countries. Our founders collectively represent over $10 million in revenue and have created more than 3,000 jobs for the U.S. economy.
