Finding US in Everything

FUSE 28 is dedicated to the expansion of Black-owned enterprise by increasing our members’ networks and net worth.

At YOUR service

FUSE 28 exists to provide Black entrepreneurs with a robust virtual hub supported by:

  • Investors, funders, lenders

  • Sponsors

  • Industry experts

  • Peers

  • Annual events (in-person!)

No more compromising on identity— we are fully aware of the greatness in our Blackness. And, unlike any other time in our history, lots of other folks are beginning to recognize and celebrate that greatness, too.

That’s why we’ve partnered with top-notch supporters and advocates around the US to ensure that each member has access to the opportunities, tools and resources necessary to build wealth and legacy in our communities.

“Working with FUSE 28 has been inspiring and clarifying. Our cohort is the G.O.A.T. and has reminded me the importance of building trust and community before tackling the hard work together.”

- Anecia Ford, Founder @ Cocomelanin | @misschocolatee

We got you.

Success Tribes (Virtual)

Become one of our hand-selected members for our Success Tribes where you and 14 of your entrepreneurial peers meet weekly for 90-min power sessions to strategize and connect your growth plans.

Unlike other online memberships, you get to interact with real people (almost) every step of the way. That’s where the magic truly happens— connecting, sharing, and working thru roadblocks together.

We’ll have industry experts and coaches to facilitate hot topics, give valuable insight and advice, and explore the potential connections and opportunities among your Tribe.

Direct pipelines to $1B+ in funding (VC, lending, grants, +more!)

At FUSE 28, we’ve done the heavy lifting to find and connect with a multitude of funders around the US, all of whom share in the mission to close the racial wealth-gap (and we’re always connecting with more).

We’re collapsing time and guess-work for our members to seek and receive capital for their businesses. And we like to go big, so our members are prepared and positioned for larger investments and funding sources.

1:1 Coaching + Support

One of the most vital aspects of successful startups and growing firms is a dedicated team that supports them. Our coaching services are timely and accessible to members with financial assistance available for the hard times.

Our coaches and consultants will not only help you organize and steady your activities, but they’ll also make sure to point you to the right resources, or sources for capital, to get it all done.

“I’ve worked with FUSE 28’s CEO for over a year now. She’s helped me hone my fundraising plan and connected me with funders throughout that time. Can’t recommend this company more— it IS Black excellence.”
