Company Overview
As a new startup, our first $25,000 in funds raised will be used to lease our first PopShop robotic storefront and cover software costs for the year. We'll also begin the build-out of our startup studio, and anticipate joining the Global Startup Studio Network (~$9,000) to learn from the best in the industry. Additional funds will be invested in the operations & marketing of our ecommerce store, HBCU.market, and stocking inventory from our lifestyle brand, @WeBlackUnicorns. As we continue to gain investor interest, we'll be updating our campaign here with additional details, partnerships, and opportunities.
