Hi Everyone! Coming to you with a short and sweet newsletter this week 😊 !

This Friday, September 26th, BFVC will be hosting our very first in person event in collaboration with Ise Collective and Aura Beauty Collective! At the moment we have more funders than founders attending 👀 so founders, please come out! You’ll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, get your fundraising questions answered, and build your founder community! You don’t want to miss this!

Tickets are $10 until Wednesday evening; after that point they’ll be bumped up to $20. Click the link here to register and learn more! We are so excited to meet you! 💗

Upcoming Conference in NYC: AcceleratorCON

Come to AcceleratorCON on November 7th! Do not miss out on the chance to connect with like-minded founders and learn more about VCs and accelerators who may be the missing piece of your fundraising journey!

I’ll be in attendance and would love to see you there! To learn more and buy a ticket click the link here ✨ 😊

Founder Series Opportunity ⭐

Lastly, founders, if you’d like your venture to be highlighted on this newsletter ( for over 300+ founders and funders to see) as an official part of our Founder Series please fill out the form linked here ✨ !

“Thanks to Zoe’s help, I’m now well-positioned to find a Technical Co-founder — a critical step toward scaling ScoutAI. I’m truly grateful for her support, generosity, and belief in what I’m building.”
— Demetrius Mobley, Founder of ScoutAI

“Connecting with Zoe gave me momentum I probably wouldn’t have built on my own. She is meticulous, generous with her knowledge and resources, and truly wants the best for Black founders!”
— Kayla Broomfield, Founder of GenWe

That’s all for now! As always, thanks for reading — and for being part of this amazing community. 😇
