Where Venture Meets Opportunity

Black entrepreneurs still receive just a fraction of venture capital dollars. Black fund managers receive merely a sliver of  assets to be invested. Build in Tulsa wants to change that narrative - for Black entrepreneurs and Black fund mangers. At the Black Venture Summit, you will have the chance to meet emerging Black fund managers and limited partners who are committed to investing in diverse-led funds. Over three days, you will get a dose of history, a chance to meet one on one, and meet emerging Black entrepreneurs, all in Tulsa, OK, the historic home of Black Wall Street.  

“Attending the Black Venture Summit provided powerful connections and introductions that super charged the growth of my own venture network and yielded monetary commitments for our fund. The summit truly comprises all facets of capital - human, social and financial.” - Kendra Bracken-Ferguson, General Partner, the BrainTrust Fund
