All of the net proceeds from this campaign will go to support Black founders through Pull Up For Change's Small Business Impact Fund.
Chuter said, “Prejudice is not just superimposed, it is metabolized deep into the fabric of society and we must stand up and eradicate all traces wherever we see it. I am so pleased to be driving this meaningful conversation but most of all to be able to support Black founders through the Pull Up For Change Impact Fund. Black founders are over mentored and under-invested. Less than 1% of available capital went to Black founders in 2020. We must change this."
