TAKING ACTION TO TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE
A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT AND CEO
Welcome To Nxt Wave Founders!
Since 2020, despite previous rounds of economic relief, many minority-owned businesses and early-stage startups found themselves at the end of the line unable to access federal relief programs that could help them weather the
economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. To better reach these founders, we pivoted to operate as a Community Navigator.
But what exactly are we doing?
When it comes to neglected small business owners, entrepreneurs and technology, we think the three have a whole lot in common: mainly, that a lot can happen in a short space of time. Things hurtle forwards and breakthroughs
create change that ripples through society, re-calibrating the new normal. Yet while technology keeps advancing, minority business progress doesn’t always move in a straight line...
The good news is, we are harnessing technology in our ScoutZ Lab-to-Market (SL2M) Hub to bring recovery services to provide financial assistance, access to capital, contracting and procurement assistance, marketing, operations, and business development while democratizing capital venture funding.
We export and collocate our inclusive multi-initiative portfolio of early-stage tech startups regionally to enable CBOs, nonprofits and NGOs to pilot our software solutions while providing the technical assistance to aid businesses and startups in stabilization, commercialization and expansion. And, yes! We also serve communities where English is a second language. Together we help systematically neglected small business owners and entrepreneurs. Technology coupled with people power is the most powerful tool that we have. But only if we use it in the right ways and if we build that technology to be equitable from the start.
Sincerely,
Luisa Bracamonte
Founder President & CEO
Making Entrepreneurship Funding More Inclusive
WHAT WE DO
Nxt Wave Founders (NWF) launched in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. A year later, we're thriving.
We aim to scale under-served entrepreneurs and the efficiency of venture capital by maximizing connectivity among founders, investors, community, and industry in rural areas.
Because NWF serves neglected entrepreneurs who are hard to reach and likely unable to access seed funding, we use an ecosystem approach to engage these founders to activate commercialization research and fund minority talent.
