The Future Collective for Black-Owned Businesses, in partnership with 1863 Ventures, is an accelerator program that aims to support Black entrepreneurs looking to take their businesses to the next level. Now in its second year, Fiverr is building upon the program’s original mission, doubling the number of accepted fellows for this year’s cohort and inviting them to join a lineage of participants that are evolving their businesses through Future Collective grants, education, and mentorship.

The goal of the accelerator program is to put Fiverr’s brand purpose - create opportunities for anyone to grow their business, brand, or dreams - into action by creating pathways for Black-owned businesses to grow and achieve their business goals.

The program received nearly 3,950 applicants this year, with 10 businesses accepted into the cohort, showing significant growth compared to last year. In total, $240,000 was allocated to the program, including a cash capital of $180K and $60K in Fiverr credits, awarding each business with $24K.
