Finance:Blackstartup
From HandWiki
BlackStartup was a crowdfunding platform that allowed entrepreneurs to market their business or project and solicit backers for funding.[1][2] BlackStartup was the first crowdfunding site focused on entrepreneurship in the African-American community.
The site was founded in 2013 by a group of Morehouse College graduates who are also members of Omega Psi Phi fraternity.[3][4]
(As of August 2017), the site is offline and up for sale.
