RIDDING OUR COMMUNITIES OF INNOVATION DESERTS

We are on a mission to increase the number of startups founded by people of color by ridding our communities of innovation deserts. Code Fever's initiative is to increase the number of students pursuing STEM fields and the number of minority-founded, venture- backed, high-growth businesses in the United States. Our programs include coding and startup bootcamps, monthly office hours, a national conference aimed at increasing deal flow by getting black startup founder access to VC's, advanced education, telling the stories of innovators of color and increasing the resource magnetism of the black community.
