Ford Fund Partner Spotlight: Making Entrepreneurship Possible for Women and Founders of Color

Seven years ago in a Georgetown University classroom, a student project sparked the genesis of 1863 Ventures. Founded by the dynamic Melissa Bradley - a wife, mother, serial entrepreneur, and McDonough School of Business professor - this initiative began as a two-day entrepreneur conference with a mission to uplift historically under-resourced small businesses. Fast forward to today, and 1863 Ventures, fueled by the unwavering support of Ford Fund, has transcended its roots, impacting the lives of more than 3,200 women and founders of color. This isn’t just history; it’s the ongoing reshaping of the entrepreneurial landscape.
