Right now, laws are being written that decide who profits from AI, business acquisitions, and the largest ownership transfer in U.S. history — and most Black and Brown business owners never hear about it until it's already decided. The Power Table is the room where that changes: proven owners, investors, and dealmakers turning hard-won success into shared leverage.
Built for Black owners, investors, and dealmakers with real revenue, real equity, and real leverage. Doing the work that builds each other and the community. Here, showing up isn't the accomplishment. It's the floor.
Experts shape these conversations — on the deals, the technology, and the future of work — before it shows up on your P&L.
Advance word on the legislation, regulation, and policy moves that affect your money — before it's public.
Not open enrollment. You're invited in, or nominated by someone already at the table.
"Everyone at this table can make you more profitable. You're just as necessary to making them more profitable."
Every conversation here starts with the same question: how do we maximize the opportunity in what's changing — for ourselves, and for our community.

Members get direct time with the people who actually move policy and capital on AI, acquisition, and the rules shaping the future of work — experts, agency heads, and lawmakers who don't take general meetings. That access is part of the room; how it's built is a conversation for members.

Direct relationships, not general-public access — the edge that comes from being in the room, not outside it.
This isn't a pitch about seats in Raleigh — it's what happens when peers with the same stakes start moving together. Two parts: what you get, and what it grows into.
More public contracts won by Black- and Brown-owned firms.
More capital circulating through Black- and Brown-owned banks.
Ownership of the AI-era platforms shaping the future of work, not just a seat building them.
More independent practices able to open and scale.
Every deal made at the table opens doors below it — acquisitions for members ready to buy and run a business, contracts that flow to smaller Black- and Brown-owned vendors, capital that recycles into the next member's deal. The room compounds; it doesn't just distribute.
How this connects to NC's political map — 41 Black legislators, a #7 national ranking in Black buying power, and the specific asks that turn both into results — is part of what members work through together inside the room.
The Power Table grows the way real power does — through people who already trust each other. Also the path for civic leaders and connectors who aren't themselves a $1M+ prospect but know who is.
"You've already earned your seat. Come take it."
