UK Government (DIT) supports “Black Tech Founders Mission to New York”: applications are now open

The UK government has opened applications for an inaugural two-month programme which will start ‘virtually’ and lead to an in-person visit to New York in February 2022.

The focus of the programme is scaling a tech business and raising VC funds in the US.

The government says: “Recognising the barriers Black tech founders face accessing venture capital, this programme will seek to elevate the selected participant’s profiles to NYC based investors & the wider NYC tech community.”

Applications close on 30 November. More information, including how to apply, can be found here.
