Mission Statement

The Black Girl Ventures Foundation creates access to capital, community and capacity for Black and Brown women founders.

About This Cause

Our mission is to provide Under-Represented founders with access to community, capital, and capacity building in order to meet business milestones that lead to economic advancement through entrepreneurship. Founded in 2016 by Serial Entrepreneur and Computer Scientist Shelly Bell, Black Girl Ventures addresses the unique challenges Black and Brown women face in accessing social and financial capital to grow their businesses. The BGV Style competition is the largest pitch competition globally for Black women founders. It uniquely combines the premise of Shark Tank and Kickstarter by activating community participation in donating to support women-owned businesses directly. We have funded 130 women of color, held over 30 BGV Pitch Programs across 12 cities.
