It supports Black, Hispanic, and HBCU entrepreneurs across various industries with awards ranging from $20,000 to $1,000,000. The program includes mentorship, a new AI category, and a podcast highlighting success stories. Its goal is to empower diverse entrepreneurs and foster business growth and wealth in marginalized communities. You can apply today at blackambitionprize.com. The application deadline has been extended to May 17th, 2024.
“I’m honored, that three years later we are still able to find and fund these incredible entrepreneurs – who may not have had the opportunity to change the world as they have with their innovative companies and ideas without the support of Black Ambition,”
says Founder Pharrell Williams.
“To see what we have created and continue to build on each year gives me immense hope for the future in closing the opportunity and wealth gaps and establishing equity for people of color.”
