One of the biggest hurdles many entrepreneurs face is access to capital.

According to the latest data from Crunchbase, Black entrepreneurs typically receive less than 2% of all venture capital dollars each year. That number is even lower for companies led by Black women. They receive less than 1%.

While capital plays a huge role in the success of any business, entrepreneurs need other tools and resources to grow their business.
