Black Seed

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.
