Grow at least 15% of Black businesses, create 600,000+ new jobs, and add $55 billion to the U.S. economy
THE CHALLENGE

-
It would take 228 years for Black families to build wealth equal to white families
-
The racial wealth gap is hollowing out the middle class
-
Black business owners were 12x wealthier than their peers; owning a business helps close wealth gaps
-
Black business ownership is a proven path to wealth and job creation that concurrently stimulates the U.S. economy. Deep-rooted, systemic challenges limit their growth-inhibiting economic prosperity and preventing generational wealth.
THE SOLUTION
The Path to 15|55 is a collaborative initiative, among experts from every sector, designed to grow Black businesses and their communities based on research that proves: if just 15% of Black-owned businesses are able to hire one more employee, the American economy could grow by $55 billion.
