As part of our commitment to growing new businesses, Accenture launched the Black Founders Development Program, a Project Spotlight Initiative, to help Black entrepreneurs advance and grow their technology businesses through greater, more direct access to venture capital, corporate mentorship, and strategic connections with Accenture’s business partners, clients, and people. This important initiative was created to invest in and support Black technology startup founders and entrepreneurs. Our goal is to help Black entrepreneurs and leaders grow their technology businesses through broader, more direct access to venture capital, corporate mentorship and strategic connections with Accenture business partners and clients.
A critical part of the program is the Black Founders Development Fund. With Accenture’s vast technology, innovation and investment expertise, the fund offers strategic investments in early-stage, Black-founded and -run software startups and other market development initiatives.
