This year, on Juneteenth, angel investing group Untapped Investing announced its launch to support Black and underrepresented founders. 

Founded by Mica Eades Mayo, Attica Alexis Jacques, and Felicia Mayo, Untapped Investing aims to create lasting change through purpose-driven ventures.

Empowering Underrepresented Founders

By investing in Black and underrepresented founders, Untapped Investing aims to generate opportunities that lead to generational wealth and sustainable growth.

This collective effort will reshape the venture capital landscape, ensuring that visionary founders, historically overlooked, receive the support they need to thrive, they wrote on LinkedIn.

Untapped Investing brings together a powerful collective of 46 founding members dedicated to being catalysts for change in the venture capital sector. 

This initiative connects underrepresented and underserved founders with essential capital, access to world-class executives, and industry leaders whose guidance can unlock exponential growth potential.

“Progress is achievable through the combined power of community and capital,” Untapped Ventures wrote on LinkedIn.

“Join us to collectively reshape the venture capital landscape and support visionary founders who have been historically overlooked.”
