Changing the narrative for Black founders and investors.

WHAT WE DO

Fictive Ventures is the family and friends that too few Black founders have. We are creating a new ecosystem of innovation and impact by empowering Black founders with capital, resources, network, and support, and cultivating Black funders through education, community, deal access, and accessible entry. We are fostering a new ecosystem, of our making, where Black innovators can thrive and Black investors can flourish.

HOW IT STARTED

Fictive Fund began as a bold vision shared by Black investors, who have built and sold companies themselves, who recognized a profound disparity in the startup ecosystem: Black pre-MVP founders were consistently facing insurmountable barriers to early capital and support. We saw talented Black entrepreneurs brimming with innovative ideas, yet struggling to secure the "friends and family" funding that is crucial for building MVPs and gaining initial traction. It was clear that systemic issues were at play, blocking the pathways to success for many promising Black-led startups. Determined to address these inequities, Brahm Rhodes, Ph.D., and Khadijah A. Robinson, esq., two trailblazing leaders in their respective fields, set out to create a transformative solution.
