    Black Entrepreneurs Survive & Thrive Season 2 Announcement!

    This is “IRON” Mike Steadman,  host of Black Entrepreneurs Survive and Thrive, happy to announce we’re back with another Season of the Show.   Our first 12 Episodes allowed to highlight  the impact of patient capital, the BEST Fund, and the resilience of black entrepreneurs here in the great state of New Jersey. When we initially launched, we were still coming out of the pandemic and the new normal.   A lot of support was thrown at Black Entrepreneurs in the aftermath of the  George Floyd and the economic devastation caused by COVID-19. Now, nearly three years later, as much of the support  has waned and inflation has skyrocketed, patient capital is more important now than ever.   Thanks to M&T Bank, the official sponsors for Season 2 and stewarts of the BEST Fund, we’re able to highlight more black entrepreneurs and continue to spread the word about patient capital.   New Episodes new drop two weeks from today, so make sure you hit that subscribe button and spread the word.
