The Insider Founder Circle at AfroTech Conference is designed to uplift and empower diverse tech founders who are building scalable, impactful companies beyond the idea stage.

We’re looking for founders at the pre-seed through Series A stages who are demonstrating traction, clear go-to-market execution, and innovative thinking—even if they haven’t raised significant capital. We’re focused on founders innovating in the following key verticals: MedTech, Energy & Sustainability, creator economy, cybersecurity, frontier tech and telecom & connectivity. We’re committed to your success by removing attendance costs, providing elite leadership development programming, and access to venture capital networks.
