Who Is A New Mew Majority Founder?
At 1863 Ventures, we are redefining the narrative around entrepreneurship by moving away from the term "minority" and embracing the concept of the New Majority Founders. These are entrepreneurs from historically marginalized and underrepresented communities who now make up the fastest-growing segments of business owners in the country. We are committed to supporting these founders as they build stronger, more resilient businesses, driving growth and innovation across industries. The New Majority represents the future of entrepreneurship, and we are here to help them thrive.
