The Hidden 10 advances Black and African women-led businesses along a structured growth pipeline from revenue to access and, ultimately, scale.At the core of this approach is The Hidden 10 Framework, which operationalizes the critical Access stage through three interdependent levers:Capital – Provision of financial resources that remove operational bottlenecks and enable strategic investment.Resources – Research, knowledge, and operational tools that strengthen decision-making, execution, and leadership capacity.Network – Connections to peers, advisors, investors, and strategic partners that expand visibility, influence, and opportunities.These levers collectively create a structured pathway that enables businesses to move beyond proof of concept, achieve sustainable growth, and establish leadership within their sectors.
