Abstract
This report focuses on identifying opportunities to build inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystems for Black entrepreneurs. By focusing on the Black community, a community that has experienced documented historical and present-day disadvantages, our report identifies equity-based activities that promote and support all dreamers, makers, and doers. Using an exploratory case-study analysis, we describe how three cities are working to create inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystems. This report is intended to inspire and encourage cities across the nation to consider and implement strategies that will improve economic opportunities for all entrepreneurs.
