The program operates under the Barclays Black Formation Investments (BBFI) initiative, aiming to address the racial equity gap in venture capital by developing a pipeline of Black investors and supporting Black entrepreneurs. Scouts are distributed across various regions to identify promising ventures, with a specific focus on pre-seed companies led by Black founders.
