We’re opening a community round capital raise so the Tribe has the opportunity to invest and own a piece of Actively Black — not just wear it.
“My vision is for Actively Black to be Black owned, not just by the founder, but Black owned by the people. Black owned by the Tribe.”— Lanny Smith, Founder
*and the 3 reasons you should. We’d rather lose an investment than mislead the Tribe — so the caution comes first.
Take care of home first. Build up your emergency savings before investing in anything — including us.
*PRIORITIZE A SAFETY NET BEFORE TAKING RISKSStartup investments are long-term and not liquid. Returns happen when a company is acquired, goes public, or has enough cash to pay dividends to its investors if it chooses.
*FOR CONTEXT: NIKE TOOK 18 YEARS TO GO PUBLIC. UNDER ARMOUR TOOK 9.In community equity rounds, the amount invested and the number of shares owned are not big enough to make you rich. There’s great potential for value growth and a future return — but this is not a lottery ticket.
*WE DON’T WANT ANYBODY GAMBLING THEIR MONEY FOR ACTIVELY BLACKThe honest case for owning a piece
You get to own a small part of the brand that you love and are helping to build. While there is no guarantee of financial reward, you now have a piece of the potential.
*ALL COMMUNITY ROUND INVESTORS ARE ADDED AS ONE GROUP ON THE CAP TABLE (SPV)Black founders receive less than 0.5% of all venture capital investment. There is strength in numbers when we pool together our united power and resources.
*MOST BLACK BUSINESSES STRUGGLE TO SCALE WITHOUT OUTSIDE INVESTMENT — RELYING HEAVIER ON CONTINUED CUSTOMER SUPPORTWe are building a global, Black-owned entity to connect, celebrate, and uplift Black people across the world — in a way that hasn’t been done before.
*THANK YOU FOR ACTIVELY JOINING THIS MISSION WITH USThe community round is opening soon. Join the waitlist to be first in line when it does.
