The Plug, which includes and is run by black and brown tech companies Cheryl Dorseystopped providing content after seven years.
Dorsey writes: “I just knew that Black founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders deserved better reporting, data insights that documented our stories, and platforms that built communities, not just content filled with clicks and open letters.
“When I look at all the work we’ve done, I’m damn proud of what my team and I have been able to achieve with your support.
“The victories that matter.
- The Plug became the first black business publication syndicated on The Bloomberg Terminal in 2021.
- Our work has been featured in The Washington Post, LA Times, ADWeek, The Information, Bloomberg and more.
- Our data has helped founders raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, launch accelerators in new markets, and bring visibility to ecosystem leaders that remain largely overlooked.
- We didn’t raise capital until year 6, mostly from revenue, partnerships and grants.”
