the problem

The African American community suffers from a lack of human and financial capital organization and strategy.  We control ZERO industries and have no productive capacity for critical resources.  We cannot even feed, clothe, or house ourselves.

about black star

The Black Star Capital Network (BSCN) is a network of Black investment clubs, syndicates, traditional funds, and individual investors across all asset classes.  This website is a guide for those interested in establishing an investment club and/or joining the network as an individual or existing fund/syndicate.  Content creators and online course instructors are also welcome and will be able to monetize their content with the network. The ultimate purpose is simply to share deal flow, knowledge, and best practices.

Target Asset Classes

Individual funds can be as focused or broad as they wish, but overall, the network will have clubs investing in all of these asset classes.

Stocks & Bonds

Real Estate

Commodities & Forex

Crypto

Angel/VC

Private Equity/Debt

strategy

For each asset class, we will identify domain experts.  While most clubs/funds/individuals may focus on one or more asset classes, these clubs will be narrowly focused on one asset class, and maybe even a specific strategy within an asset class, e.g. REO to rental real estate, managed futures, crypto OTC trading, etc.  Then clubs/funds/individuals that have no particular focus or area of expertise can simply co-invest alongside the expert/targeted funds in exchange for a small fee and/or percentage of profits going to the clubs that originate and syndicate deals.

taking UJAMAA from theory to practice

"...social power is, in essence, collective, and involves two essentials, intentionality (i.e. purpose, motive) and resources." -Amos Wilson, Blueprint for Black Power

Our intention is Black economic self-determination, and we must organize our collective resources to that end by creating, building, and investing in the means of production.

BSCN's strategy was inspired and informed by the book In The Black 2050: a model for black economic leadership in the 21st century, which is available for purchase below.
