Accelerator Program
PURPOSE OF ACCELERATOR
The Accelerator Program is an inclusive entrepreneurship initiative that seeks to increase the number of minority-founded, venture-backed, high-growth businesses in the U.S. by identifying, cultivating and showcasing minority entrepreneurial talent and connecting this talent to investment opportunities.
CFBI’s Accelerator is a plan to equip black entrepreneurs with the capital, support and a system that will position their companies to scale without fear or threat of interruption. This initiative, by use of technology, entrepreneurship and innovation, will build flourishing, investment ready ecosystems in black and brown communities nationwide.
