Profile
Black & Brown Founders was created by our Executive Director, Aniyia Williams, during her entrepreneurship residency with Code2040 in 2017. Through fundraising for her tech company, Aniyia discovered the many gaps of venture funding and disparities in supporting people of color. Less than 2% of venture capital goes to Black and Latinx entrepreneurs, yet they are the driving force behind business creation in the United States.
