DIGITALUNDIVIDED

digitalundivided (DID), a social enterprise founded in 2013, takes an innovative approach to economic empowerment by encouraging women of color (WOC) to own their economic security through entrepreneurship. Based in Atlanta, DID is the primary pipeline for WOC into innovation-focused entrepreneurship, helping founders raise over $25 million in outside funding. Their current programming is built upon the success of DID’s FOCUS Fellow (FF) program (2012-2014), which provided support for WOC ... entrepreneurs. FOCUS started as a day-long workshop in 2012 and expanded to a virtual accelerator program in 2014. In 2015, DID started the #ProjectDiane data initiative and use insights gained from the on-going project to build the BIG Incubator program and the BIG Innovation Center in Atlanta. The first cohort of BIG graduated in January 2017. The second BIG Cohort started in spring 2017.More
