The BOSS Network

Knocking Down Barriers with The BOSS Network

Black women are America’s fastest-growing demographic of entrepreneurs but have also been hardest hit by the pandemic. We partnered with The BOSS Network for a three-year program to tackle inequality, provide support and guidance during the pandemic and beyond, and help black women achieve their goals with everything they need to successfully start a new business.

 

 

How The BOSS Network is creating more opportunities for black women

The BOSS network, an online community of professional and entrepreneurial women, is available to help people support each other through networking, content, and online and offline engagement

How Sage will help

Year 1

We’re investing $500,000 to provide $10k grants for 25 black women small business owners, plus a one-year business mentoring program for all 25 students via a scholarship to the BOSS Business University.

Year 2 and 3

We’ll be repeating the same level of grant funding awards and a year of business mentoring to black women small business owners.

A future of equality

Our work to knock down barriers and reach equality doesn’t stop here. We’re working with even more partners to help underrepresented communities start successful businesses.
