Black Girl Ventures founder Omi Bell outlines the organization’s next phase

Bell described a model in which entrepreneurs can receive initial awards and advance to pitch for larger amounts, including grants of up to $10,000. The organization focuses on founders who have historically received limited access to venture capital, particularly Black and women entrepreneurs. The organization’s work reflects the role of founder-support platforms in addressing capital gaps that traditional venture investing has not closed.
