Founder Empowers Black-Owned Businesses to Hire Through Innovative Bartering Platform

The platform’s mission directly addresses the triad of challenges most commonly faced by Black entrepreneurs: funding, hiring, and building a supportive community. By creating an ecosystem where businesses barter services and expertise, Barter Black® provides a practical pathway for overcoming these hurdles, enabling businesses to scale and thrive.

Barter Black® cultivates this ecosystem through a variety of initiatives, including speed networking events, power hour sessions, monthly grant meetups, and a weekly podcast that showcases a diverse array of business owners. These efforts are more than just events; they are the building blocks of a robust support network, essential for the growth and sustainability of Black-owned businesses.

“Imagine a world where Black-owned businesses and business ideas aren’t hindered by lack of funds or the challenges of hiring,” Murphy invites. “Through Barter Black®, we’re not just imagining it; we’re building it. By prioritizing human capital over financial capital, we’re paving the way for a new era of Black entrepreneurship.”

This initiative transcends being a mere platform; it’s a movement dedicated to revolutionizing the Black business landscape. It’s a community of digital course creators, accountants, marketers, and more, all united under the mission to make Black-owned businesses more sustainable and independent.
