About Tanya T. Morris

Tanya T. Morris positions herself as "The Mentor Mogul," blending venture capital investing with hands-on mentoring and coaching that teaches entrepreneurs exactly how to pitch and close deals, rather than just deciding which startups to back. She built her investing approach from decades in nonprofit and community organizing work, founding Mom Your Business as both an entrepreneurship platform and "village" for mompreneurs while leveraging her media background to elevate founders' stories and normalize women of color as CEOs.

Phirst Market Ventures is a blended nonprofit-for-profit fund co-created by three partner organizations that converts catalytic grants into discounted SAFE notes and patient equity specifically for women-of-color-run startups. The fund uses an explicitly unbiased approach that reviews 100% of applications and guarantees clear decisions while focusing geographically on the Mid-Atlantic corridor but deliberately excluding New York to concentrate capital on often-overlooked markets like Greater Philadelphia.
