Established in 2014, Halcyon Ventures offers comprehensive fellowships that include housing, legal and consulting resources, stipends, coaching, and mentorship, all without taking equity during the fellowship period.

The firm has expanded its programming to include fellowships in various regions, including Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, reflecting its commitment to fostering sustainable and scalable impact-driven businesses worldwide. The firm's mission is to bridge funding gaps that disproportionately affect women, founders of color, and other under-resourced entrepreneurs, fostering a more inclusive and equitable entrepreneurial ecosystem.
