Brooklyn, NY · Nonprofit
Ownership & access for young entrepreneurs.
We drive economic equity and generational wealth by opening pathways to capital and procurement for founders in underserved communities.
What we do
Bridging the Capital Divide
We connect young founders in overlooked neighborhoods to modern financial instruments, alternative capital, and growth infrastructure.
The MYBE Initiative
A dedicated pipeline into MWBE certification — compliance, licensing, and supplier readiness for entrepreneurs ages 18–35.
Culture & Capital
One of our flagship events, bringing young entrepreneurs together with the people and resources that open doors — with more events on the way.
Why it matters
At our last Culture & Capital event, only about 10 attendees were MWBE certified. Over 95% of emerging operators are locked out of government procurement and institutional capital — we're here to change that.
