Add your business to the
Black Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Map!

Whether you're looking to grow your business, access funding, or connect with like-minded professionals, BEEM is the go-to platform for Black entrepreneurs.
More than just a directory or map, BEEM is designed to tackle unique challenges Black entrepreneurs face— from limited access to capital and mentorship to gaps in visibility.
