Early-stage strategy and investor readiness for women of color founders in the U.S. and Latin America.

Funding Futures, Empowering Founders.

Nemeri means "my freedom" in Garifuna—an homage to our ancestors and a promise to our community.

At Nemeri Ventures, we support women of color founders across the U.S. and Latin America in building strong, investable businesses. We focus on early-stage strategy, investor readiness, and the key decisions that shape a company’s ability to scale and raise capital. We know that access, not talent, is often the missing piece for women of color in business. That’s why we provide strategic guidance, education, and warm introductions that help founders navigate fundraising with clarity and confidence.

Our mission is clear:

To break down funding barriers and contribute to a more equitable entrepreneurial ecosystem where women of color have greater access to the resources, guidance, and confidence needed to scale their ventures into thriving, impactful businesses.

Funding Women of Color, Building Futures.

We provide strategic guidance and support to women of color founders, with a focus on early-stage strategy and investor readiness. We support founders throughout the fundraising process, helping them navigate investor conversations, diligence, and key strategic decisions. For select founders, we make warm introductions to investors in our network who share our commitment to closing the funding gap. Whether you are raising capital, exploring your funding options, or building your financial foundation, Nemeri meets you where you are.

Nurturing Dreams, Empowering Leaders

Whether you are just beginning to explore your funding options or preparing for your next raise, Nemeri helps you navigate the journey with clarity and confidence.

We provide personalized strategic support to help founders build financial literacy, strengthen their positioning, and connect with the resources and relationships that move their business forward.

Investing with Intention:

Partnering for Lasting Impact


Nemeri is actively building partnerships with organizations, accelerators, incubators, and ecosystem builders who share our commitment to closing the funding gap for women of color founders in the U.S. and Latin America. If your organization is aligned with expanding access to capital, financial literacy, or entrepreneurship support for underrepresented founders, we would love to explore how we can work together. Jamilah is also available for keynotes, panels, and workshops on investor readiness, closing the funding gap, and cross-border entrepreneurship in Latin America.
