Second Black Wall Street Homecoming & First Google for Entrepreneurs Exchange Black Founders Converge in Durham
It’s a packed week in Durham by design, with an accent on founders of color and attracting investors.
Twelve early-stage tech led by black founders arrived last weekend for the first week-long Google for Entrepreneurs Exchange Black Founders hosted by longtime partners Google for Entrepreneurs and American Underground. The intense dose of mentoring aims to prepare founders to seek and close capital, taking aim at the documented funding gap says American Underground’s Chief Strategist Adam Klein. The event attracted companies from as nearby as Raleigh and as distant as Los Angeles.
