Notable Investments
Black Tech Nation Ventures is built on a pre-existing national community of thousands of Black technologists and operates with an integrated nonprofit-for-profit model where the nonprofit feeds talent into venture readiness, giving them structural access to Black founders and operators from day one rather than having to source diversity from scratch. The fund is deliberately headquartered in Pittsburgh to position the city as a national hub for Black venture capital while focusing on overlooked talent outside Silicon Valley, and operates with a dual mandate to both fund Black founders and actively develop Black venture capitalists as a talent factory for the next generation of Black GPs.
