Our Organizational Structure

The majority of the Executive Board will be comprised of successful Black professionals and leaders in their field. Additional board members will be invited to join Slingshot by the Executive Director and Executive Board, based on their ability to mentor and raise seed capital. 

All board members are expected to provide mentorship and pro bono services. Ideally, there will be mentor experts in marketing, public relations, web and app design, manufacturing, accounting, government for MWBE contracts, real estate, finance, and attorneys with expertise in operating agreements and patent law. Corporate America, charitable foundations, and wealthy Americans will fund the incubator through sponsorships. 

There is no better time to be a good corporate citizen than now! The goal is to start Slingshot in Los Angeles as soon as possible and create a model that can be easily replicated in every major metro area in the county.
