Welcome to the two-hundred and thirty-third episode of the Heart + Hustle Podcast! In this episode, we explore the challenges Black women entrepreneurs face in securing funding, with less than 1% of venture capital allocated to them. We break down the key documents needed to attract investors, from business plans to pitch decks, and highlight grants, funding programs, venture capital firms, and accelerator opportunities designed to support Black-owned businesses. Plus, we share valuable networking and mentorship resources to help founders build connections and long-term success. Tune in for actionable insights on funding your business!
