$5K Startup Grant for Black Women
The Pepper Startup Grant is specifically for Black women business owners, a dynamic group that has been systematically disenfranchised when seeking to acquire the necessary venture capital funding to expand their businesses. We’re here to change that.
Pepper was inspired by a passion to change beauty standards for women who are overlooked in the bra industry, now we want to help underrepresented Black entrepreneurs kick start their businesses, in their own way.
THE PROGRAM One recipient will receive a zero strings attached $5,000 financial grant and the following benefits:
Mentorship calls with the Founders of Pepper Dedicated promotion on Pepper’s social media accounts Access to consultations with experts in legal, fundraising, finance, marketing, website, and relevant fields as needed, to address your specific needs We’re excited to partner with Startup Girl Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit venture capital fund investing in female founders to administer the grant.
