The 10K Project is an economic movement to create a 100% black-owned crowdfunding platform
As part of a national movement to fund black business and bridge the black wealth gap, a group of entrepreneurs have launched a 100% black-owned equity crowdfunding platform to create a new generation of black businesses.
The 10K Project allows micro investors to join for $100 and have the opportunity to invest in black-owned small business.
Warrick, who has been writing business plans for more than a decade, said The 10K Project is responding to a growing need to support black entrepreneurs, especially during a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has created such economic uncertainty.
She and her co-founders believe that the project has a chance to create a new generation of black investors.
“We all come from communities with beautiful histories and amazing black people doing wonderful things,” said Tawana Rivers, a co-founder and the project’s COO.
