Comcast created this initiative in 2020 to help strengthen and empower women and minority-owned small businesses hit by COVID-19 after studies concluded that Black, Hispanic, and Asian American-owned small businesses were hit the hardest by the pandemic, and that women-owned businesses have been growing at only half the rate of those run by men due to their lack of access to capital and other resources.
