As a 30-year champion for Black businesses, our guest, Jill Johnson, is a pioneering voice for inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems and is creating a new paradigm for the access to capital conversation.

Jill is the co-founder and CEO of the Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership (IFEL), based in Newark, NJ. IFEL, founded in 2002, is an independent, nonprofit organization that supports economic development through entrepreneurship.

IFEL’s mission is to eradicate the systemic barriers that prevent access to the knowledge, networks, and capital required for entrepreneurial success and wealth creation.

Jill is the driving force behind a new initiative, the Making of Black Angels, to drive diversity and inclusion within the investor ecosystem.
