The BOMESI Accelerator is focused on increasing the number of media companies serving Black and Diverse communities that are well-positioned to do business sustainably with the nation’s top advertisers. We focus on infrastructure, ecosystem building, and audience development to increase deal flow and total investment to a greater number of platforms serving Black and diverse communities.

We are looking for publishers with strong fundamentals in place. However, additional forward investment in capability, marketing, measurement, etc., would quickly propel them to the next phase of their growth. As a result, these platforms will attract greater investment dollars from top agencies, brands, and other national advertisers.
