SPOTLIGHT ON FELLOWS

“The Tory Burch Foundation has been pivotal in my entrepreneurial success. [Tory’s] support was a key factor in me becoming the 36th Black woman ever to raise over $1 million in venture capital for my own fashion brand.”

CEO/founder, Autumn Adeigbo

“The community was the reason I applied for the fellowship. It has exceeded my expectations, in terms of the caliber of founders and their willingness to support one another and share resources. Incredible.”
