Industry-specific Screening
While we are an industry-agonistic fund, we have intentionally built industry-specific screening into our evaluation and due diligence processes. Our investments so far represent eight unique and differentiated verticals for maximum diversification and impact.
Investing
for Impact
We are a returns-focused fund that seeks innovative and scalable ventures led by Black entrepreneurs. We create impact by fundamentally diversifying the face of entrepreneurship and helping bring solutions to life that solve problems for underserved consumers and communities.

Initiatives
Our Initiatives are designed to help level the playing field by supporting early-stage companies led by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) founders. Some include non-dilutive grants awarded to BIPOC-led companies who are at the concept stage. The BFM Fund works with various non-profits to create geographic and industry specific standards to increase access for their entrepreneurial ecosystem.
