The BOMESI Accelerator is focused on increasing the number of Diverse and Black-owned media companies 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 Diverse and Black-owned media platforms.
We have identified high quality Diverse and Black-owned media companies that will be able to take their business to the next level through the accelerator. Our curriculum is largely focused on leveling up business fundamentals, deepening an understanding of monetization strategies and advertising sales, and audience growth.
