Village Micro Fund exists to revolutionize how capital flows through Black communities by building investment models that honor both profit and purpose. We weave together traditional finance, cooperative economics, and cutting-edge technology to create funding mechanisms that work as our ancestors imagined and our future demands. Through our Flourish Fellowship, we transform entrepreneurs into leaders, individual businesses into community anchors, and isolated successes into collective victories.
We are not simply funding businesses; we are fueling an ecosystem of Black economic empowerment where every investment strengthens the whole, every lesson learned becomes communal wisdom, and every dollar generated flows back into our collective future.
Donte Miller, Harriett Williams, Nathan Jones, shared a powerful vision born from personal experiences of untapped potential. Each carried stories of family dreams unrealized, Donte's grandmother's culinary talents never transformed into a business, Harriett's family farm that couldn't sustain for a chance at generational wealth, and Nathan's father's record store lost to rapidly changing technology.
After experiencing Goldmans Sachs on Wall Street Donte and Nathan founded the Village Micro Fund, driven by their corporate experiences that highlighted the systemic barriers facing Black entrepreneurs. They witnessed brilliant minds in their communities lacking only resources and strategic guidance.

Keena Pierre

We met Keena when she came through our Fall 2019 cohort with So ATLish. She had a vision for what she wanted to build and she went and made it happen. When she decided she had a different calling and pivoted into an whole new career, we were proud of her because that’s what real entrepreneurs do; they keep going. Hearing she passed really broke our hearts. The last time we saw her, she was so excited about her future and had so much to look forward to. This one hurts. We wanted to say something here because she mattered so much to us and our entire Village. What we’ll always remember is the laugh you could hear from the parking lot after every class and the way she always made everyone feel so welcome. Thank you, Keena. We’re so grateful to have met you and we’ll miss you. Rest Easy ❤️
