Methods & Tiers in Raising Capital

GOAL: $15M TO LAUNCH

Co-Branded Partnership: For a $15 million investment, a corporation, family foundation, or wealthy individual will receive naming rights for three years.* For example: “The Nike Slingshot Incubator.” (This is a unique opportunity for a partner to step up and invest directly into the Black Business Community). For $45 million, the partner will receive naming rights for NY, Chicago, and LA* for three years.

Sponsorships: Slingshot offers $1 million sponsorships per city for the right to advertise as a sponsor for three years. For example: “American Express is a proud sponsor of the LA Black Business Incubator.”

Supporters: $100,000 donation per supporter. We are requesting every Executive Board member pledge to “give or get” $100,000. This is a one-time donation that will last for three years. * Executive Board Member Adam Haber has already pledged to donate $100,000.

*The goal is to first launch Slingshot in Los Angeles and create a model that can be easily replicated in every major metro area in the country.

Los Angeles, Tulsa, and Newark are pilot cities. Locations remain flexible depending on where specific corporations want to place their investments. Any city in America can replicate this unique model.
