Black Capital Converges on Martha’s Vineyard for AFROTECH House
Investors representing over $1 billion in assets are descending on Edgartown this August for the second annual AFROTECH House. The gathering transforms the storied summer destination into a high-stakes hub for venture capital, focusing on wealth building and economic empowerment among Black founders and executive leaders.
Beyond the boardroom-style sessions, the evening reception—sponsored by Amazon—shifts the focus toward relationship maintenance and celebration. The entire experience is tethered to a broader philanthropic goal: every dollar generated from ticket sales goes directly to Blavity.org. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit reinvests the funds into the same community that the AFROTECH platform serves, ensuring the influence of the gathering extends well past the Edgartown coastline.
