Black women are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs. Data shows that the number of businesses owned by Black women grew 50% from 2014 to 2019. 

While Black women may now be starting businesses at a record pace, we have to overcome massive obstacles in doing so. 

Proud that LinkedIn is fostering communities where Black women entrepreneurs come to find the resources, connections, networks, information and investment we need to launch and grow businesses – AND thrive along the way. 

Now is the time to invest in Black women founders. Thank you BNC for the opportunity to discuss this important topic.
