Black Venture Capital Now and Beyond
The venture capital industry is an important source of funding for start-ups and small businesses, and while African Americans make up a small percentage of venture capitalists, recent data shows that the number of Black venture capital firms is growing. In 2017, the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) reported that African Americans held just 8 percent of venture capital jobs, but the number of Black venture capitalists has risen by more than 62 percent since 2010.
