Business ownership is a proven path to building wealth. It’s time to redistribute business ownership opportunities and make wealth building more equitable across all Americans! #wealthgap #BetterTogether

[Center for Entrepreneurial Opportunity (CEO) @CEO_policy]

Due to centuries of discriminatory policies, only 2% of US businesses are Black-owned.

It’s time to break down barriers for minority entrepreneurs.

@OneTen @NasdaqExchange Hello! I submitted an inquiry through your website but did not receive a reply. How can we speak with someone at @OneTen about a recruiting partnership? Thank you so much!

On June 19 1865 the last African Americans slaves were freed. Something to celebrate! However, the racial wealth gap in this country tells us there is still work to do. Better Together Brands looks forward to redistributing opportunities to build wealth thru business ownership

[Better Together Brands @WeAreBetterTo]

@OneTen @MauriceOneTen That was a watershed moment for us. We founded our company after George Floyd’s killing and BLM protests because we believe it is imperative to redistribute business ownership opportunities to black and brown Americans whose talent and potential have been overlooked too long.

Diversity and equitable representation must occur at ALL levels or progress will be short lived and maximum impact will be unrealized.

Just 1.3% of venture capital dollars went to Black businesses last year.

More diversity in venture capital firms would mean more diversity in where venture capital dollars go.

@RayDalio It is the myth of the entrepreneur! Just because you’re a good pie maker doesn’t make you a good bakery owner. Different skill set must be embraced to make that transition a successful one. #BetterTogether

@helenegayle @ChiTrust Thank you @ChiTrust for your important work in the Chicago region. @WeAreBetterTo is here to support you in any way we can. It takes a village! #BetterTogether

@helenegayle The wealth gap is an imperative our country cannot afford to sweep under the rug. The time is now for SOLUTIONS that make a measurable, tangible difference! #wealthgap #bettertogether

[Better Together Brands @WeAreBetterTo]

@RacialGap We agree 100%! Business ownership is a proven path to wealth. Let’s focus on SOLUTIONS that redistribute wealth building opportunities and start closing the wealth gap today!

[RacialWealthGap @RacialGap]

My purpose for bringing awareness to this topic is because it's so crucial for future generations. Building assets is one of the most important parts of financial health. Important for a successful life that creates stronger families that would make for a stronger community.

@EDerenoncourt Thank you for this important and insightful research!

[Better Together Brands @WeAreBetterTo]

@LidlLare @EDerenoncourt That’s a great point about equal wealth … but that is not the end goal, at least it shouldn’t be as that causes other undesirable problems. The answer lies in more equitable redistribution of opportunity to build wealth. #bettertogether

[Better Together Brands @WeAreBetterTo]

The time for change is NOW! #bettertogether

[NBER @nberpubs]

160 years of data show today’s large US racial wealth gap stems from initial conditions under slavery and long-standing gaps in wealth-accumulating conditions, from @EDerenoncourt, @ckim_econ, @kuhnmo, and @mschularick https://t.co/9avHlatm1L

Great article from @FiveThirtyEight about closing the racial wealth gap. “Student debt exacerbates the racial wealth gap, starting from the moment that newly christened graduates toss their caps in the air.” https://t.co/MgzXslOKPG #racialwealthgap #wealthgap #bettertogether

[Better Together Brands @WeAreBetterTo]

Disparities in business ownership are a key driver of the racial #wealthgap. We can level the playing field by redistributing entrepreneurial opportunity to groups who have been excluded for far too long. #bettertogether

[Helene Gayle @helenegayle]

A new report notes only 2% of businesses in the U.S., or 134,600, are Black-owned, even though 13% of the country's population is Black. If business ownership was proportionate to population, there would be 872,200 Black-owned businesses. #wealthgap

CONGRATS to our co-founders @DebbieBlacher and @paulwolbert for completing the @RallySEA Social Enterprise Accelerator program in Orlando, FL. We can’t wait to start closing the wealth gap in Central Florida and beyond….Let’s GO!
