The BLCK Street Business Lab Cohort has been deep in the fundamentals of getting a business off the ground, and our last two sessions brought in two sharp guest instructors to help.

Chris Forstner led the cohort through a course on Intellectual Property, breaking down how to protect what they're building.
Then Jason Richardson met with our Builders to talk through the importance of insurance and the coverage that keeps a business protected.

Grateful to both for sharing their expertise with the cohort.

There is still time join us for tomorrow’s Mind Your Business cowering session

This month prompt is: Protect What You're Building. We'll dig into risk management and compliance before year-end contracts, hires, and big decisions. You've built the momentum. Now protect it.

The prompt is there to spark ideas, but bring whatever you need to get done. It all counts.

Come as you are and work on what matters.

BLCK Owned Field Trip: Game Night Photo Recap. ♠

Look at this energy. This is what happens when we step inside a Black owned space and show up for each other.

Thank you to The Queen Factory for the space, and to our vendors—Charde’s Kitchen, Tasty Flavas Mobile Bartending, and DJ Leena for bringing this evening to life.

And a huge thank you to our sponsors at the City of Richmond Office of Equity and Inclusion (City of Richmond, VA Government) , Greater Richmond Partnership (Greater Richmond Partnership, and BLK RVA (Visit BLK RVA) for championing Black business ownership.

We’re excited participating in Startup Champions Network: Richmond Summit. This Summit brings ecosystem builders from across the country together to learn about the host city’s ecosystem and help bring suggestions to solve local challenges.

As part of the decor vision, various Richmond entrepreneurial ecosystem members decorated a letter to represent their org and the people they serve.

BLCK Street created the O and it features logos of Black Owned businesses from the directory on the front and back.

Big shout out to Lisa Francine Townes and crew for all their help 🖤

A big thank you to attorney Imie Harber who led the BLCK Street Business Lab Cohort Class through a Legal Structure session diving into the foundation no one sees.

With years of experience in personal and commercial liability defense, workers' compensation, and corporate legal matters, Imie brought real-world insight to the legal groundwork every business needs.

The cohort dug into operating agreements and contracts, from putting them in place to keeping them current, and explored the different types of insurance that protect a business as it grows.

Q4 starts now. What are you protecting as you close out the year?

Join us for our next Mind Your Business, for dedicated time to work on your business, not just in it.

This month's prompt: Protect What You're Building. We'll dig into risk management and compliance, the CEO work that keeps everything you've built standing. It's there to spark ideas, but bring whatever you need to get done. It all counts.

Come as you are. Work on what matters. You'll be in a room with business owners and entrepreneurs building right alongside you.
