An independent journal of Black enterprise.

Blk Founders covers Black entrepreneurship and startups with the rigor of a business journal: reported news, original data and research, founder stories, coverage of access to capital, and practical playbooks for operators.

We are independent. We are not owned by a fund, an accelerator, or a corporate sponsor, and our coverage is not for sale. When we cite a number, we cite its source. When we make a correction, we say so on the page.

What we cover

• Startups — company building, launches, and the market forces behind them.
• Capital — venture, debt, grants, and the terms that shape ownership.
• Data & Research — the numbers behind Black entrepreneurship.
• Founder Stories — long-form profiles of decisions, not just milestones.
• Playbooks — practical guides you can use this week.
