In one panel, we’ll be discussing how Black business owners are making it in Silicon Valley. We recognize that small business lending is tight, venture capital investing for Black entrepreneurs is down, and Black business support organizations here aren’t as plentiful as for other diverse groups. During this event, we'll hear from several local business people on how they got to where they are, how things are going for them today, and how they are planning for a successful future.
