CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Black Ambition selects a deliberately small, competitive cohort to maintain program quality — exact numbers are not published.
The 2025 cohort produced $274,690+ raised, 51 new jobs, and 500+ tracked business wins, suggesting the program is selective and expects active participation, not passive attendance.
WHAT IT TAKES
Attend an info session (July 24, 2026 is the last listed) — 1 hour
Submit application before the August 4, 2026 deadline — 2–4 hours
Complete 10 weekly virtual sessions and program assignments if selected — August 18 – October 20, 2026
WORTH KNOWING
Top participants earn a spot at the Fundable Founders Forum in November 2026, where they pitch to investors, corporate partners, and decision-makers — making strong in-program engagement a path to real capital access beyond the curriculum.
