P27 Ventures Black Founders Forum

At the Black Founders Forum, Black Founders will be prominently featured. The highly anticipated conference will bring together Black entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators from across the region.

A signature highlight of the event will be a pitch competition where five companies will be selected to pitch their idea to a live audience. The winning company will receive a venture capital investment of $250,000.

The Black Founders Forum is sponsored by JPMorgan Chase’s Advancing Black Pathways (ABP). Created in 2019 to support the economic development of Black communities, including entrepreneurs, ABP is committed to supporting access to business education, coaching, banking products, and financing solutions.
