About JWCF

Our mission, Learn Grow and Own in the Black community, is rooted in leveraging our collective networks, resources and information to build sustainable Black owned businesses.

Think of us as your partner in the back office. You know your product or service, and you know it well. You know where your customers are and what resonates with them. How do you translate that from a product or service into a business? What does your customer experience look like? What systems do you need to have in place? How does your A-Team (Attorney, Banker, Certified Public Accountant) work to help you reach your goals? What other support do you need to ensure you don't just make a great product or produce a great service, but that your business is able to launch and scale with you?

Whether it be through the foundational courses of our Community Business Academy, the individualized business coaching of our flagship Jackson Ward Collective®, or the annual gathering of Black business owners from around the country for our conference - BLCK Street, we are here to help you reach your short and long term business goals as a Black business owner. And we don't just care about your business's success; we care about YOUR success, which means we are here for the ups and the downs, and also to remind you to take care of yourself.
