SUMMARY:EndeavorLAB for Black Founders Closing Event
DESCRIPTION:The EndeavorLAB for Black Founders Cohort\, powered by Dell for Startups and FPL\, is comprised of ten businesses that embody the entrepreneurial spirit and resilience of Black founders. A majority (70%) of the companies were founded within the last four years\, with the median founding year being 2020\, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. These founders have also managed to operate successfully with very lean teams\, employing between 1 and 16 full-time employees\, and a total of 55 in Florida and around the world. Additionally\, 40% of these companies are bootstrapped while 60% have raised some form of external capital that totals $3M. \nIndustries are incredibly varied\, with the three most represented sectors being GovTech (20%)\, Retail & Consumer Tech (20%)\, and FinTech (20%). Other verticals represented include CleanTech\, Enterprise SaaS\, Food & Beverage and Media. \nWith a projected collective revenue of $4.5M by the end of 2023\, which represents a 100% growth since 2022\, this collective of home-grown businesses is poised to make a significant impact in the Florida startup scene and beyond. \nFounders selected for the cohort have taken part in five weeks of group modules and individual mentorship sessions focused on building a foundation for scale. Now as the initiative comes to an end\, the founders will participate in a Closing Event where they will pitch their companies night to the Endeavor community. \nJoin us for a fireside chat on Funding Cultural Currency with Kori Hale\, CEO at CultureBanx & Contributor at Forbes\, Evan Leaphart\, Founder & CEO at Kiddie Kredit\, and David Correa\, Executive Director\, Technology and Disruptive Commerce\, Commercial Banking at J.P. Morgan. \nOnce the pitches are done\, we will move on to the networking reception with light bites and drinks. Attendees will have the chance to network with top-tier entrepreneurs\, investors and industry leaders from the Endeavor network and the greater entrepreneurial community.
