RoadPitch | Connecting Black Founders to Investors
Team
Who We Are
We started RoadPitch with the goal of getting more Black Founders funded. As a community we received an endless amount of programming with very little capital to back it up. So we said "Enough!" let's get these founders in the room with investors and create the opportunity to get them funded. We know how difficult it is to raise money. We've worked with other startups on this and have raised capital ourselves. We've pitched to potential investors virtually and have spent a lot of time convincing others to invest in our various initiatives. It takes time and the back and forth before closing a deal can be frustrating. So we rolled up our sleeves and decided to do something about it. Join us on our journey!
