Our Mission

Empowering BIPOC storytellers to build wealth through intellectual property ownership, Twenty43 Ventures identifies, funds, cultivates, and monetizes diverse stories for mass consumption. We aim to transform the storytelling landscape, interrupt unjust systems, and deliver measurable social impact alongside financial prosperity.

By 2043…

Twenty43 Ventures envisions a creative ecosystem where BIPOC storytellers are industry leaders, generating stories that are commercially successful and socially transformative. In an industry long marred by systemic inequities, our vision is to make diversity in storytelling not an exception but the norm, thereby influencing cultural, social, and financial landscapes for generations to come.

We are an abolitionist collective committed to building and enacting the just systems of the future, today!

We believe in the collective sovereignty of all marginalized people while centering the need to repair ongoing systemic harm to Black, Indigenous, Disabled, LGBTQ+, Gender-Nonconforming, Immigrant, and communities under religious persecution.
