COMMUNITY or Nothing
Community Manifesto
We believe in doing good by doing well.
We believe that social capital is the key to unlocking financial capital.
We want to learn from experts in order to become experts and make more money.
We view financial independence as a path to leadership and sustainable businesses.
We recognize that there is information that we, as underrepresented founders, have not historically had access to and we plan to gain access to it together, strategically.
We believe that access to capital, healthcare, professional services, and a network of women founders will distinguish the barriers to long-term business sustainability.
We believe in sharing resources, talking through challenges, holding space for one another, and celebrating our victories.
BGVConnect
The BGV Connect Incubator is dedicated to the Black Girl Ventures' mission of accelerating 100,000 women toward economic advancement through community, education, and leadership. The BGV Connect Incubator is for women-identifying entrepreneurs and business leaders at all levels who are innovating and dedicated to leveling up their vision, idea, or business.
It wasn’t until I joined this community that I felt like I was somewhere that I am comfortable enough to speak up when I didn't know what things meant and be honest and vulnerable. This community is more than what I've gotten from more traditional organizations where I feel like you have to put on a front to
be part of a group.
