Black Valley Presents S’23 Founders Programme Cohort
The Black Valley Founders Programme is a tailored 8-week accelerator supporting exceptional UK-based black founders to access capital and scale their start-ups. The programme immerses our cohort in a community of start-up builders, investors and expert mentors.
We selected high-potential founders whose businesses show strong evidence of traction, scalability and profitability. With the help of our programme, we aim to accelerate their growth and support them in getting their first institutional investment.
