Shoppe Black is an editorial and discovery platform covering Black-owned businesses, investing, and ownership across sectors.
Founded in 2014 by Tony O. Lawson and Shantrelle P. Lewis, Shoppe Black was built to increase the visibility of Black enterprises and the capital, partnerships, and market access that sustain them.
We document how businesses are launched, financed, structured, and scaled. Coverage spans entrepreneurship, capital formation, real estate development, technology, consumer markets, and ownership strategy.
Since launch, we have profiled thousands of businesses and interviewed hundreds of founders, executives, and investors across the United States and internationally.
Our audience includes founders, senior operators, capital providers, and professionals evaluating opportunities across markets.
Shoppe Black reaches more than 125,000 newsletter subscribers and a combined digital audience exceeding 1 million monthly across web and social platforms.
