This Black History Month, we are excited to celebrate the excellence of Black founders and investors across Michigan. This event will also provide an opportunity for Black founders to share their success stories, challenges, and recommendations for how Michigan’s startup ecosystem can provide equal access to network, capital, and opportunities moving forward.

Founders and investors of all racial and ethnic identities are also encouraged to attend to build relationships, celebrate, listen, and be part of the solution.

Here’s what to expect:

6:00 – 6:30 Open networking, delicious food & drinks

6:30 – 7:00 Black founder stories, special guests & call to action

7:00 – 8:00 Open networking, free headshots & great conversation

This event is co-hosted by MFF founders Ashley Williams of RIZZARR and Johnnie and Alexa Turnage of EvenScore, The Song Foundation & MFF.
