Only 4.7 percent of America’s total household wealth is held by Black families, even though we make up 13.6 percent of the population.

That number matters — because wealth isn’t just about money. It’s about ownership, access, and the freedom to take risks. When we talk about funding Black founders, this is what we’re really up against: a system that’s built on unequal starting lines.

Knowing the numbers helps us change them. Every pitch, every product, every investor conversation is part of rewriting that story — not just for this generation of entrepreneurs, but for the next.

Policies come and go.

Headlines fade.

But outcomes — they build legacies.

✔️How many Black founders are scaling their companies?

✔️How many creatives are turning culture into capital?

✔️How many cities are building ecosystems that include everyone?

Control The City is a monthly newsletter that was created to track and celebrate the movement of Black innovation — the dollars being invested, the founders breaking through, and the ecosystems being built across Texas and beyond.

I believe in destiny. But I also believe that you can’t just sit back and let destiny happen. A lot of times, an opportunity might fall into your lap, but you have to be ready for that opportunity. You can’t sit there waiting on it. A lot of times you are going to have to get out there and make it happen.
