BULLish Market 8/14/23 Weekly Recap
With the announcement that enrollment doors are closing on August 31st, 2023, we’re getting a beautiful influx of new members and lots of incrediBULL questions from soon-to-be members. I’m using this week’s email to answer some of the questions that I’m getting. Please know I welcome questions via email and if you want to chat, we can schedule a Zoom.
And yes, we know the enrollment page is ungood. It’s one of the many reasons why after the enrollment doors close we’re seamlessly transferring the membership over to a much better platform.

A to the MOST FAQ – Who’s all over there?
The BULLish Market is a membership connecting small business owners in the Triangle, NC, to each other, opportunities, and our BULLoved community.
Really incrediBULL stats we’re proud of:
- 82.5% of our members are women-owned businesses
- 67% of our members are BIPOC-owned businesses
- 46% of our members are Black-women-owned businesses, which is reflective of Black women being the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the US. In contrast, Black-women only get 0.2% of business funding. We’re here to buck that by going extra hard to find funding opportunities specifically for Black women. Special thank you to these members for showing my Black daughter she and be and do anything.
