A mission to foster economic growth by finding, supporting and growing women of color entrepreneurs.
A hybrid non profit/for profit organization, DID provides Black and Latina women entrepreneurs with the network, coaching, and funding to build and scale their companies through our BIG Accelerator. Using a Lean Startup Methodology tailored for communities of color, DID excels at 1) finding Black and Latina women entrepreneurs with high growth companies and game changing ideas, 2) connecting them to an unmatched network of investors, mentors, and influencers, 3) developing their start-up toolkit and leadership skills, and 4) supporting their entrepreneurship journey from the build phase to exit with the goal of helping create companies that have a strong positive impact on the economic health of their local communities.
