About this Event
The Mission
As of 2026, Black founders still receive less than 0.5% of all venture capital. The biggest barrier isn't the lack of a "Unicorn" idea—it’s the lack of a "Friends and Family" network to fund the first prototype.
This Juneteenth, we are changing the math. Join us at the historic Masonic Temple for a night of high-impact networking, gourmet dining, and direct action. 100% of net proceeds will launch the Sacramento Black Founders Pre-Seed Fund, providing $50,000 equity-light grants to 20 local entrepreneurs.
