Building the Agenda for Collective HBCU Alumni Investing

​Black founders received just 0.4% of all US startup funding in 2024. Meanwhile, thousands of HBCU alumni qualify as accredited investors, but few actively participate in angel investing.

​This private working session brings together HBCU alumni investors, operators, founders, and ecosystem builders to design interventions that will move HBCU alumni capital from fragmentation to collective investment. The BOLD goal: $50M in HBCU alumni angel investments by 2030.

​This is not a panel or networking mixer. It is a structured research session. The insights from this room will directly inform HBCUvc's field-defining research paper on HBCU alumni angel behavior and collective investing power.

​

​What you'll be part of:

​— Your name as a founding contributor to the research paper

​— Early access to findings before publication

​— A curated room of 20 people — investors, network builders, and deal flow leaders — you won't meet anywhere else

​

​The agenda runs 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM with two structured working sessions and a closing synthesis. Space is limited. Participation is by application only.
