Moneda Moves (173): She's Connected Entrepreneurs Through More Than $100M
What do Black and Latino entrepreneurs look like, uninterrupted?
That’s the question, Felecia Hatcher, CEO of Pharrell William’s Black Ambition Opportunity Fund, has for the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Hatcher is a White House Award-Winning Entrepreneur, Motivational Speaker and Author. The Fund, which she leads, invests in diverse entrepreneurs with capital, mentorship and uninterrupted access to resources and opportunities. There is nothing she can’t do.
In the last three years, the Fund has invested in more than 100 Black and Latino-led companies, all which have gone to raise more than $95 million.
“I am the daughter of a construction and development entrepreneur,” she said, later adding “I am the beneficiary of that hard work that’s stepping out on faith.”
Today we are speaking with Felecia about the capital gaps for Black and Latino entrepreneurs, the big opportunity that comes with investing in POC communities and her own journey as business owners from owning a gourmet popsicle company with her partner to becoming CEO of Black Ambition.
