‘Your self-worth should never be determined by the rooms you walk into.’ ✨   Black entrepreneurs continue to face significant barriers that can hinder their success. Research by Extend Ventures showed that between 2009 and 2019, only 0.24% of capital in the UK was allocated to Black founders with just 0.02% to Black female entrepreneurs.    For the past three years, Sky has been working with the Black Equity Organisation to help tackle this challenge through the Future 100 Growth Fund.   The programme aims to support Black entrepreneurs to help them overcome these challenges and develop their businesses through a tailored 12-week workshop and mentoring programme, investment of up to £15,000, and 12-months free Sky Business broadband.   To understand the impact of the initiative and celebrate the success of some of our entrepreneurs, our Chief People Officer UK & Ireland, Group Talent D&I Claudia Osei-Nsafoah sat down with two Fund alumni, Jane Visram, founder of Mama Dolce & Vese Aghoghovbia, author and founder of Philly & Friends.   Hear their stories so far ⬇  https://lnkd.in/gQ8JjjhH
