Empowering Founders in the U.S. South and beyond!
Nestled in the heart of the Digital Delta, the BIL pre-accelerator addresses a critical gap in the tech entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Memphis Delta Region. We provide mentorship and investment opportunities to take founders building tech or tech-enabled companies in the health tech, manufacturing/supply chain, sustainability, or ag tech sectors from zero to one.
Our entrepreneurial educational pipeline programs are nationwide!
“Venture capital has increasingly become the lifeblood of American entrepreneurship. And yet, of the record $161 billion in venture capital invested in the U.S. in 2020, single-digit percentages went to Black, Latinx or female entrepreneurs. Silicon Valley also keeps its pocketbooks close to home: More than half of the venture dollars invested in the U.S. last year went to California alone.”
