Black Seed is a mission-driven venture capital fund addressing the chronic underinvestment in Black British founders. The firm operates as both a Fund and Community, recognizing that Black founders receive only 0.24% of UK VC funding despite evidence that diverse founding teams achieve 30% higher returns. Their approach combines capital deployment with community support, believing in the power of Black founders to innovate and shape the future through holistic support that fuses technology, culture, empathy and innovation.
