## About Black Star Fund

Black Star Fund is an early-stage innovation fund focusing primarily in the United States & Africa. We invest in the innovators – those who see new enterprise as the gateway to a world that is more abundant, balanced, and productive.

OUR INVESTMENT THESIS Best-in-class Black-led high-growth companies represent a new asset class that produces outsized returns. These founders and their companies, which have been historically overlooked, undervalued, and undercapitalized, represent a watershed investment opportunity.

OUR PHILOSOPHY Our investment philosophy is simple: the harvest is only as good as the cultivation.

Black Star Fund is a venture capital firm, but our investment goes far beyond capital. We aim to cultivate our founders and their companies through extensive portfolio support and guidance in order to hyper-accelerate their growth.

OUR APPROACH Black Star Fund hyper-accelerates our portfolio companies by leveraging:

▪ High-touch Portfolio Management team, offering business development and operational support

▪ Extensive network of decision-makers in the United States for portfolio support (incl. investment syndication, partnership opportunities, etc.)

▪ Decades of marketing, production, and media expertise and resources to drive and enhance brand equity
