About Us

Enterprising Black Orlando (EBO) is a community-powered movement working to advance economic opportunity and build generational wealth across Central Florida. While we center the needs, voices, and brilliance of Black entrepreneurs and communities, our work is for everyone committed to building a more just, inclusive, and thriving region.

We believe strong Black businesses mean stronger communities—for all of us. That’s why EBO brings people together across industries, cultures, and zip codes to remove barriers, connect resources, and shape a future where equity is the standard, not the exception.

Together, we’re creating the kind of economy—and community—we all deserve.

 

Our Story

Why We Started
Enterprising Black Orlando was created to confront the deep-rooted wealth gaps in Central Florida by tapping into the full brilliance of our communities. We’ve always had the ideas, the strategy, and the hustle—but too often, our assets go overlooked and under-resourced.

EBO was born from a collective belief that our communities deserve more—and that with the right tools, support, and connections, we can build something greater. By aligning our strengths and sharing what works, we’re creating a future where Black-led innovation drives inclusive economic growth for everyone.

 

Our Mission​

Enterprising Black Orlando exists to spark bold, lasting change by fueling collaboration, championing equity, and driving innovation across our communities. We’re here to connect people, ideas, and resources—creating space where Black businesses and communities prosper. Our mission is rooted in a simple belief: when we build together, we rise together. That’s how we expand opportunity, uplift economic well-being, and shape a future that works for all of us.

Our Vision​

Connected communities unlocking opportunities and driving an inclusive economy for all.
