A new generation of Black entrepreneurs is on the rise, with 66% of Black small business owners under the age of 40 in 2023. This trend supports a steady year-over-year increase in the overall number of Black entrepreneurs.

Kelsey Ruger, Hello Alice’s Chief Product Officer, will facilitate the conversation with Jamal R. Watkins, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Advancement at the NAACP; Salah Goss, Senior Vice President for Social Impact at the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth; and a recipient of Mastercard Strive’s recent Catalyst Fund grant program for Black entrepreneurs.
Together, the panel will discuss the following:
- Findings from “The 2023 Black-owned Economy: Charting the Needs and Challenges of Black Small Business Owners,” a Hello Alice report published in partnership with Mastercard and NAACP
- How to navigate resources and funding opportunities
- Tactics and themes from successful Black entrepreneurs
