the Black founder
funding journey today
How does the funding journey
for Black founders compare
to non-Black founders?
Our research group
323 Black founders
2,193 non-Black founders
2
In 2022, we explored the funding journeys for
Black founders and saw that they still receive
less than 1% of funds invested in the US—even
amidst historic VC levels.
One year later, in 2023, we followed the same
group to see how their experience compared.
Black founders
are receiving
1.7x more deals
than their
counterparts.
That’s good news, right?
Unfortunately, not so much.

“The problem is not getting the funding. The
problem is when I get the funding, it's much
less. That puts significantly more burden on
your life because you're not going to be able to
spend on the company or your cost of living at
the same quality as your white counterparts.”
—Black Founder
4
Black founders
receive 42% less
funding per deal.
Black founders must raise more
deals to get the same amount as
their counterparts, which impacts
business decisions:

Sacrificing long-term growth
for short-term gains
Greater need to rely on own
revenue to sustain growth
Reduced financial resources to
hire and retain top talent
Less room for error
“The dedicated capital available to Black
founders isn't that big. That ends up
confining you to what you think is
attainable… it puts you in a smaller box.”
—Black Founder
6
How can VCs help close the gap?
7
The lack of equitable funding to Black founders from 2016-
2020 resulted in a $67B loss in business opportunities—
impacting enterprises and Black generational wealth.
Moreover, when innovation is not seeded by diverse
sources, everyone misses out.
Here’s what the VC ecosystem can do:
Support Black founders in early funding stages
Help Black founders advance from Series A to
late-stage rounds
Diversify VC decisionmakers to create more
opportunities for Black founders
01
02
03
“Even when Black founders are funded,
they're not funded correctly. They're not
given the correct valuations, and
ultimately it decreases their opportunity
of success.”
—Black Founder
8
What can Black
founders do
right now?
With less funds available, Black founders
cannot wait for institutional change. These
actions can help improve their chances of
success in today’s environment:
9
01
02
03
04
Build a strong “effective network”
of the advisors and investors who value diversity
Evaluate investor needs to better position
yourself to secure funds and “sell equity”
Learn from successful founders how to navigate
nuances in pitching, facilitate warm introductions
and negotiate better terms with investors
Set empowering milestones dependent only on
yourself, your team and your product
Be authentic and never feel the need to code-
switch to appease or play to anyone’s
perceptions

About the Black Founders

playing field for Black entrepreneurs

More deals, less money: the Black founder funding journey

  • 1. More deals, less money: the Black founder funding journey today
  • 2. How does the funding journey for Black founders compare to non-Black founders? Our research group 323 Black founders 2,193 non-Black founders 2 In 2022, we explored the funding journeys for Black founders and saw that they still receive less than 1% of funds invested in the US—even amidst historic VC levels. One year later, in 2023, we followed the same group to see how their experience compared.
  • 3. Black founders are receiving 1.7x more deals than their counterparts. That’s good news, right? Unfortunately, not so much. 3 Black Founders (n=323) | Non-Black Founders (n=2193) Average number of total deals 5.63 3.27 All deals 1.7x
  • 4. “The problem is not getting the funding. The problem is when I get the funding, it's much less. That puts significantly more burden on your life because you're not going to be able to spend on the company or your cost of living at the same quality as your white counterparts.” —Black Founder 4
  • 5. Black founders receive 42% less funding per deal. Black founders must raise more deals to get the same amount as their counterparts, which impacts business decisions: Copyright © 2023 Accenture. All rights reserved. 5 Black Founders (n=323) | Non-Black Founders (n=2193) Median raised per deal (M) 1.17 2.00 All deals 42% Sacrificing long-term growth for short-term gains Greater need to rely on own revenue to sustain growth Reduced financial resources to hire and retain top talent Less room for error
  • 6. “The dedicated capital available to Black founders isn't that big. That ends up confining you to what you think is attainable… it puts you in a smaller box.” —Black Founder 6
  • 7. How can VCs help close the gap? 7 The lack of equitable funding to Black founders from 2016- 2020 resulted in a $67B loss in business opportunities— impacting enterprises and Black generational wealth. Moreover, when innovation is not seeded by diverse sources, everyone misses out. Here’s what the VC ecosystem can do: Support Black founders in early funding stages Help Black founders advance from Series A to late-stage rounds Diversify VC decisionmakers to create more opportunities for Black founders 01 02 03
  • 8. “Even when Black founders are funded, they're not funded correctly. They're not given the correct valuations, and ultimately it decreases their opportunity of success.” —Black Founder 8
  • 9. What can Black founders do right now? With less funds available, Black founders cannot wait for institutional change. These actions can help improve their chances of success in today’s environment: 9 01 02 03 04 Build a strong “effective network” of the advisors and investors who value diversity Evaluate investor needs to better position yourself to secure funds and “sell equity” Learn from successful founders how to navigate nuances in pitching, facilitate warm introductions and negotiate better terms with investors Set empowering milestones dependent only on yourself, your team and your product Be authentic and never feel the need to code- switch to appease or play to anyone’s perceptions 05
  • 10. 10 About the Black Founders Development Program Accenture’s Black Founders Development Program aims to level the playing field for Black entrepreneurs through access to venture capital, corporate mentorship, and strategic connections with Accenture’s business partners, clients and people. The initiative is led by Accenture Ventures.
