SBLK VENTURES

Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to establish relationships with many Black entrepreneurs.

Through these relationships, we have heard firsthand about the challenges these entrepreneurs encounter while trying to secure capital to expand their businesses, and inversely the challenges Black investors face trying to navigate the venture landscape.

Recognizing these hurdles, we founded SBLK Ventures. This syndicate provides accredited investors with a low-risk, diversified way to invest in promising Black-led companies while building their own wealth.

Investment Thesis

Our investment strategy revolves around diversifying across debt, revenue share, and equity based deals as a means of hedging risk, providing liquidity to investors sooner, and supporting a wider range of companies. 

SBLK Ventures seeks to generate a 3X-5X return on all investments, and targets startups led by Black entrepreneurs that aspire to exit via IPO or acquisition in 2-4 years. 

Investment Criteria

SBLK Ventures is an industry-agnostic investment syndicate, meaning we consider opportunities across all sectors. We’re looking to partner with exceptional companies at various stages of growth.

We Invest In:

  • Profitable Businesses
  • Innovation Leaders (strong intellectual property)
  • Scalable Revenue Growth ($2 million+ ARR)
  • Compelling Exit Strategy (2-4 year horizon)
