Get Backed: Inside 3 Accelerators Betting on Black Founders

Get Backed: Inside the Accelerators Betting on Black Founders

Less than 1% of venture capital reaches Black founders. The accelerators in this room built other doors — and on August 12, they're opening them.

Join AcceleratorCON at Atlanta Tech Week for a conversation with the people who decide who gets in. No theory, no recycled stats — what actually gets founders selected, funded, and to a term sheet in 2026, straight from the programs writing the playbook, including Build in Tulsa and DO GOOD X.
