Minority Investment Companies

Minority Private Equity and Venture Capital firms, most of which have raised institutional capital from investment banks, insurance companies, pension funds and other institutional investors, are in a unique position to provide not only growth capital but also strategic advice and managerial resources to certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE). More importantly, their equity capital, if they are certified as an MBE, when invested into a minority supplier counts towards the minority ownership requirement - - thus allowing maximum opportunity to retain MBE certification status (51% ownership, control and operation) after the capital raise. This is a significant and unique built-in competitive advantage that minority investment companies have - - yet many have yet to taken advantage of it.

The Capital Summit will help you identify the best available pool of minority businesses to consider for future investment while also understanding the corporate-demand side of the Supplier Diversity formula.
