About

Black Founders Exchange is an intensive program designed to connect Black tech entrepreneurs with mentors, investors, and fellow founders. Hosted by American Underground and Google for Startups, it offers targeted workshops, pitch coaching, and access to a growing peer network.

Eligibility

Applicants should be Black-identifying founders of early-stage tech startups. Startups should have an MVP or early traction and be looking to scale.

Why It’s Worth a Look

Provides rare access to an investor and mentor network committed to supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs. The peer connections built during the program often last well beyond the formal sessions.
