The Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership (IFEL) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that leverages the power of relationship capital to create pathways to success for Black and Latinx entrepreneurs and small business owners. Founded in 2002, IFEL has served more than 6,000 small businesses and oversees a volunteer community of more than 1,000 business professionals. Our mission is to eradicate the systemic barriers that prevent people from historically excluded populations from being able to access the knowledge, networks, and capital required for entrepreneurial success and wealth creation. www.weareifel.org. Our major programs include: Small Businesses Need Us--catalyzing a corps of volunteer business professionals; Women of Color Connecting (WOCCON)--programming to increase access to capital for women of color founders; and Making of Black Angels, an innovative educational initiative to create more black angel investors.
