About the $100k Foundation
More than one path.
We show Black students that their future is bigger than the few paths they're usually sold.
About the $100k Foundation
We show Black students that their future is bigger than the few paths they're usually sold.
Too often, the only success stories Black students see are on a stage, on a court, or in the fast money of the streets.
Those stories are loud, and they're everywhere. The barber who built his own shop, the 19-year-old running a home services company, the founder behind a growing media brand: those stories rarely make it into the classroom.
We bring them there, in a way schools can trust. Young Black entrepreneurs take the stage, share the real story of how they built their businesses, and speak to students at their level, with honesty and in their language.
Students walk out with new role models, new possibilities, and a reason to start.

A two-period keynote activation that comes to your school for Black History Month.
Entrepreneurs in food, finance, media, events, beauty and barbering share how they started, what got in the way, and what it actually takes.
The speakers sit down together and answer students' questions directly, so every student leaves with something they can act on.
