MAJOR KUDOS! Congrats to our co-founder @iammarypryor ✨  The Parent Company on Thursday named the members of its social equity fund advisory, which include George Atallah, Marcia Dyson, Jeff Gray, Faith Leach, Carmen Perez, Mary Pryor and Angela Rye.

The company noted that its new fund secured an initial backing of $10 million, plus 2% of all future net income. Its main focus is on finding and supporting entrepreneurs of color in the cannabis space. Aside from providing the business people with the necessary finances, the fund will provide guidance to help them reach “generational wealth” in the diverse cannabis industry.

“We established this fund to help break down the systematic barriers that Black and other minority entrepreneurs face as they seek to secure participation, growth, and leadership in this multi-billion-dollar industry,” said Desiree Perez, The Parent Company board member and chief social equity officer.

The members of the fund’s  committee come from various sectors, including cannabis, criminal justice reform,  activism and advocacy.

Striving for more minority-owned businesses is a note Jay Z hits regularly when he makes a move in the cannabis business. Lately, he’s had a lot of opportunities to do just that. In November 2020, Jay Z was named Chief Visionary Officer for The Parent Company (TPCO), a cannabis company created by Jay-Z's @rocnation company and California-based companies, Caliva and Left Coast Ventures.
At the time of the announcement of TPCO, Jay Z said: “Although we know we can’t fully redeem the injustices created by the ‘war on drugs’, we can help shape a brighter and inclusive future. The brands we build will pave a new path forward for a legacy rooted in equity, access, and justice. We’re creating something people can trust and we’re investing in our future, our people, and our communities.”
Part of the new venture included The Parent Company Social Equity Ventures, a corporate venture fund investing in Black-owned and minority-owned cannabis businesses.
