For five years, Black Entrepreneurs Week has been where connections turn into opportunities. We've helped founders meet bankers, attorneys, CPAs, videographers, photographers, mentors, investors, and future customers. We've seen entrepreneurs secure funding, purchase equipment, launch businesses, and build relationships that changed the trajectory of their journey.

This movement is for us and by us. It only works because our community continues to invest in itself. As we prepare for Black Entrepreneurs Week 2026 in Houston, we're looking for sponsors who believe in ownership, opportunity, and economic growth.

Shout out and thank you to JPMorgan Chase for continuing to invest in community.

The Black Entrepreneurs Week Conference is coming this December. Will your company be part of the impact?

We don't talk about this enough as a community. This. Needs to be addressed, if we are going to grow more wealth in our households and communities.

🕰️ to the night handshakes turned into contracts and conversations turned into collaborations. 🤝✨

This was the Wealth Summit 2025 where connections happened in real time, not in a follow‑up email.

This year at BEW, we are shifting the conversation toward one word: Ownership.

Are you a speaker who can go beyond the surface-level conversations around entrepreneurship and share real experiences, real insights, and real knowledge that can help individuals, families, and business owners scale, acquire assets, negotiate deals, invest in companies, and co-create long-term wealth?

If you have a story to tell or expertise to share that can help move our community forward, we would love to hear from you.

The next era of Black entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business — it’s about ownership.

🗣️Spring 2026 Small Business Development University 📣

Module #1: Orientation. Step into the next level of entrepreneurship with the Houston Area Urban League’s Small Business University — a startup accelerator and business incubator designed for founders and small business owners in the pre-venture, startup, or growth phase. Our program blends group training with one-on-one business consulting to help you master the fundamentals of growth: from certification and preparing competitive bids, to unlocking loans and investment opportunities.

With direct access to sponsors, community partners, and a powerful network of over 15,000 alumni, you’ll gain more than knowledge — you’ll gain traction.

This is also your pipeline to specialized programs like the Restaurant Accelerator Program, Diageo, Intuit Ideas Program, Urban Appraiser Initiative, the Greater Houston Black Chamber, and the Greater Houston Support Stack.

And it doesn’t stop there — this cohort will also get the chance to compete for cash prizes in upcoming pitch competitions. 💰

Date: January 28, 2026

Time: 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

Location: Virtual Meeting

Cost: The Small Business University is sponsored by community partners of the National Urban League. Your tuition is waived once you sign up to become a client of the Urban League Entrepreneurship Center.
