Center for Economic Inclusion Launches First Accelerator
News
In the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020, businesses, nonprofits, and government entities alike promised to right historical wrongs by directing millions of dollars to Black-owned companies. Minneapolis-based Target Corp., for instance, has pledged to spend $2 billion with Black-owned suppliers over the next few years.
Now, a St. Paul-based nonprofit is stepping in to help connect diverse businesses with those big opportunities. Last week, the Center for Economic Inclusion announced a new accelerator program specifically catered to businesses owned by Black, Indigenous, and Latina entrepreneurs.
