 Black women-owned businesses increased 265% between 1997 and 2014, outpacing growth among all women-owned firms. Black women are responsible for over 1.5 million businesses and generating over $44 billion a year in revenue, while being responsible for the livelihood of roughly 400,000 workers (Forbes). Part of the broader Road to Billions Conference, this exciting, full-day Summit program was developed to showcase the brilliance of black women tech founders, create a stage for their experiences, foster deep connections and create real funding opportunities. Join investors, brands, tech evangelists, founders who are just starting out and those who have been in the game for years, at the largest gathering of black women tech founders in the world.
