"Achieving the full potential of the U.S. economy requires that every American entrepreneur can start and grow their business regardless of background. Yet some communities face disproportionate barriers to the resources needed to turn their entrepreneurial dreams into reality. For example, the U.S. Federal Reserve found that more than half of Black-owned businesses were turned down for bank loans, a rate twice as high as white business owners. Black-owned businesses received less than 1 percent of venture dollars and Latino/a-owned businesses received less than 2 percent in 2022, according to CrunchBase..."-U.S. Department of Commerce Support for Minority Business Enterprises
