The Challenge of Investing and the Court Ruling Against “Fearless Fund”

Published on: 6th July, 2024

In this episode we delve into the financial hurdles facing small CPG brands, especially when it comes to raising funds. Navigating the funding landscape is tough, and it gets even tougher due to the government barring grants to Black women entrepreneurs via The Fearless Fund. We discuss these challenges openly, sharing personal experiences and the broader impact on business growth and development. Join us as we explore the realities of funding barriers and what can be done to overcome them, all while fostering a community of support and resilience.
