Founders Programme
The UK startup ecosystem is failing Black entrepreneurs with innovative ideas!
The ethnicity of an entrepreneur or founding team can affect venture capital funding in the UK. While all ethnic entrepreneurs are underfunded, between 2009 and 2019, Black founders received just 0.24% of venture funding — while Black female founders received 0.02% of the total venture capital invested. {Source: Extended Ventures, diversity beyond gender report}.
Black Valley’s goal is to ensure the future of tech is inclusive for Black founders. We address these issues through our Founders programme by backing and supporting exceptional Black founders through an 8-week accelerator programme.
We are accepting expressions of interest for our S’24 programme.
