According to Amex's 2019 State of Women-Owned Business Report, Black women represent 42% of net new businesses started in the last year, which is three times their share of the female population (14%). Yet in the past decade, Black women–led businesses have captured just .06% of the total venture capital funding pie. Let’s close this funding gap and support Black women entrepreneurs on IFW today.
