Silicon Valley forgot to build for the middle market, the 350K HNW business owners employing 40% of America’s payroll. Today, we’re fixing that. @FlexSuperApp's $60M Series B equity round led by @portageinvest, building the "AI-Native Private Bank" for HNW owners.

Yesterday we finished cohort 7 of @BlckVentureInst & I can honestly say, the cohorts just get more impressive. Cheers to you Cohort 7! Can't wait to see what you do! Big love to all our #BVIFam for always bringing it. ❤️❤️@RobertGordonIV #BVI4Life

Back at it with our next cohort of @BlckVentureInst!! Welcome Cohort 6!! Incredible group of leaders 🔥 🚀 #BVIFam

I’ve had the honor of watching @JacksonTheVC build this platform from Day Zero. My pride in him @frederikg191 @SashaMac17 & @LaVandezJones knows no bounds! CONGRATS on the $150M WAV Fund 1 close 🙌🏽 Thx @alexrkonrad + @Wellington_Mgmt + @KauffmanFellows forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…

@frederikg191 @LaVandezJones @BLCKVC @drivecapital @Wellington_Mgmt @ForbesUnder30 @Forbes @ForbesTech WAV's $150M fund comes as $$ for emerging managers and Black founders has mostly dried up. @DominicMadori recently wrote that 0.13% of U.S. venture dollars went to Black founders in Q3, which rounds to zero. Wellington's partnership contributed $50M to WAV, a show of support.

WAV (pronounced "wave") also includes @frederikg191, @LaVandezJones and Sasha McKenzie, who bring experience at @BLCKVC and @drivecapital to @Wellington_Mgmt. Groce was our @ForbesUnder30 VC callout for 2021; Cummings made the list that same year. forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…

Excited to announce Wellington Access Ventures (WAV), our first early stage venture fund at Wellington Management!! To learn more, read the full exclusive from @forbes about our $150M final close forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…

News: Wellington Access Ventures has raised $150M to back underrepresented founders. Led by @JacksonTheVC and 3 other Black investors, WAV writes $1M to $6M checks, leveraging the Wellington platform. It's made 12 bets so far. My latest for @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…
