Sixty8 Capital

Join us x THIS FRIDAY Nov 7!

Goodie Nation is a nonprofit dedicated to eliminating the relationship gap that stands in the way of success for far too many promising innovators.

Sixty8 Capital shines a light on undercapitalized founders and innovators.

Together with , we’ll be diving into what 2026 will look like for Startup Founders.

According to , funding to Black VCs rose to $3.4 billion in 2022 from $2.3 billion in 2021. While we’re definitely here for that progress, that's only  2.1% of the record $162.6 billion in total venture raised in 2022.

We’re of the mindset that we can celebrate the progress that’s been made, while advocating for more.

Additional context from shows why that progress has been hindered:

👉🏽When investing slows down overall, Black-founded startups are hit disproportionately by the decline. There is often a “subconscious bias” during a drop in the market, where investors seek what they know and what is familiar to them — which typically is not black founders.

👉🏽Black-founded startups have continually struggled to gain anything above 1-2% of the venture market in the U.S. for the last several years.

👉🏽It’s been hard to reach the same “top of mind” effect that Black companies had in 2020 following the aftermath of George Floyd.

Black VCs across the country are addressing the long-standing diversity, equity, and inclusion issues, hoping to continue moving the needle on progress towards underrepresented founders.

Business Insider rounded up 51 of those Black VCs, and included Sixty8 Capital on the list. Here’s to progress, and onward. Learn about the 50 other Black VCs investing in Black Founders using the link in our bio.

Major shoutout to our Founder who will be serving as a judge at the annual ! 🎉

is an event that allows 10 entrepreneurs the opportunity to compete for startup capital and helps continue the investment pipeline that often overlooks black and brown entrepreneurs. Participants must identify as black or brown and live in Central Indiana.

We can’t wait to hear about the amazing talent she gets to witness and are so excited at the opportunity to be a part of this!

👉🏽If you’re local to Indiana, the event is free to attend in person or virtually.
