In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Peter Clausi spoke with Colin Lynch, a member of the Board and a Founding Member of the Black Opportunity Fund (“BOF”) about how BOF is enabling Black business owners with enhanced opportunities to participate in Canada’s economic growth.

In this InvestorIntel interview, Colin Lynch said that Black entrepreneurs face inequitable access to capital which inhibits their ability to build and scale businesses. Supported by individuals and families and about 40 corporations in Canada, Colin went on to say that BOF is empowering Black led businesses and charities in Canada by providing them with sustainable long-term funding to support initiatives around entrepreneurship, education, health, criminal justice, etc.
