The new traditional begins...

An evening of art, wine, & capital...
At Chelsea Walls Gallery
Curated art show
Just for us

With art
Coming from
Around the USA
For one special night

- With Basquiat paintings next door
- Wine selections corked every half hour
- Hors d'oeuvres served by our classy staff
- And security out front keeping our folks safe

We did what we came there to do.
Get funded & fund present GPs.
Deals were made on the spot
And conversations flowed

With ease...

We broke 3 myths:

1. Black men don't support each other's careers.
2. Black men don't form meaningful relationships.
3. Black men don't fund each other's investments.

At scale.

With 150+ online members
And a growing partner list daily...

We're happy to write our own checks.
Partner with orgs who seek to do the same.
And provide the shoulders for others to stand on.

Thank you to our sponsor: Goodwin Law Firm.

Partners Jewel Love and Jay Holmes

Were happy to host you..

We'll see you next time in Atlanta.

Ep 85 Pioneering Men’s Dinners

In this episode, we sit down with Emerson Foster, an HR executive, community builder, and founder of The Dinner Group, for a deep conversation about the power of authentic connection among men of color in the corporate world.

Emerson shares the origin story of his grassroots networking movement, how it grew into a national platform for professional brotherhood and healing, and why creating space for men to show up fully and support one another is not just meaningful — it's essential.

From late-night hip-hop gatherings to boardroom strategy, Emerson’s story is a masterclass in leading with purpose and building legacy from the ground up.

Are you a Black male GP or private equity professional looking to expand your network and deepen connections with like-minded leaders in the field?

Black Executive Men Capital Network is proud to offer a groundbreaking initiative tailored for Black men in private equity—an exclusive cohort followed by a luxurious, unforgettable experience in Napa Valley.

Why This Cohort Is a Game-Changer

Private equity can feel isolating, particularly for Black men navigating spaces where representation is scarce. This cohort is designed to connect, uplift, and empower, bringing together the brightest minds and ambitious leaders in the industry. Over three months, you’ll build authentic friendships, expand your network, and tap into opportunities to advance your career and influence.

What’s Included in the Cohort

• Facilitated 1:1 Networking: Connect with 30+ like-minded Black men in private equity, including GPs, analysts, accountants, lawyers, and more.
• Pre-Calls: Prepare for impactful conversations and relationships with curated group calls that build the foundation for the cohort experience.
• Post-Calls: Solidify connections, discuss takeaways, and plan for future collaborations.

Exclusive Napa Valley Experience

From July 9th to July 10th, we’ll gather in Napa Valley for a one-of-a-kind weekday event designed to combine luxury, connection, and professional growth.

Day One: A Feast for the Senses

• Winery Tour: Explore a Black-owned vineyard, indulge in wine sampling, and savor a gourmet charcuterie platter.
• Private Dinner: Enjoy a five-star dining experience with a private chef, signature cocktails, curated wine selections, and a dedicated bartender.
• Cigar Lounge: Unwind with a premium cigar ceremony, curated selections, and moving speeches that inspire and energize.
• Unforgettable Atmosphere: Engage with representatives from the local community, connect with fellow executives, and soak in the beauty of Napa Valley.

Day Two: Deals, Partnerships, and Growth

• Breakfast Roundtable: Share insights, discuss deals, and explore collaborations with fellow Black male private equity professionals.
• Future Planning: Strategize next steps for your fund, upcoming events, and the future of the Black Executive Men Capital Network.

Investment

The entire experience, including the three-month cohort and the Napa Valley event, is available for only $1,000. This is more than an event—it’s a pivotal moment in building your network, growing your influence, and shaping your future in private equity.

Spaces are limited, and this is an exclusive opportunity to connect with trailblazing Black men in private equity. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this transformative experience.
