Did you know?
All black-owned businesses produce LESS than 1% of America’s GDP.
Add in all Latino-owned businesses and the total is LESS than 3.5%.
Yet … the fastest rate of entrepreneurial growth in America is among black and Latino startups with 60% and 44% growth respectively. (National rate is 18%)
America needs more entrepreneurs, more startups, more job creators.
Fortunately, they’re all around us. Let’s invest in existing value and scale it up.
