Your real odds
Their portfolio holds 23 Black founders across 19 companies, which tells you this fund is selective and active, not just aspirational.
At $12M AUM and 19 portfolio companies, this is a smaller fund making concentrated bets, and because it is explicitly mission-driven toward Black founders, you are competing in a narrower field than you would at a generalist VC.
