Black Seed
Black Seed is a community led by Black founders, for Black founders. Rooted in Brixton, with global ambition.
We empower Black founders to build the impossible.
Black founders are over mentored and under funded.
0.24% of VC funding received by Black entrepreneurs - 38 businesses in total, of those only one Black female founder raised Series A.
A VC accessibility gap: 88% of Black founders in the UK self-fund at least part of their venture.
There’s always been entrepreneurialism in the Black community. Venture capital just hasn’t made its way to them yet.
Our 5-year vision is backing 30 Black-led startups from the Black Seed programme by 2026 across the UK.
Our co-working space in Brixton is a space to connect Black founders. As a portfolio company you get access to our venture studio and resource hub.
