Closing the Opportunity Gap for Underrepresented Founders
A large segment of America’s entrepreneurs and business owners lack adequate and equitable access to the resources to start or scale their ventures.
Envolve Entrepreneurship focuses on closing the opportunity gap for these underrepresented entrepreneurs in underserved communities. Research shows that in particular, Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and female entrepreneurs are systematically underrepresented, underfunded, and under-considered.
Rebecca Scott – Sustainable Snacks
“Food is so much more than nutrition, its culture, its heritage, its communion…increasing access and redefining healthy food, ensuring that it’s culturally appropriate and accessible is my true passion.”
Rahim & Mohammed Diallo – Ginjan Bros
“The best way to change minds and hearts are through the things that are not quantifiable. It’s the food, drink, culture, and music, and creating a community around that. It’s an opportunity to educate someone.”
Lee Gaddies – Gaddis Gaming
“I created this business in order to create jobs in an area where people are looking for work and want to work. And there just aren’t enough jobs to go around, and it has decimated the community.”
