Welcome to Cynsus

Welcome

Welcome to Cynsus! We're dedicated to spotlighting underrepresented startups and founders. Our primary mission is to discover and highlight underrepresented founders, their ventures, and locations, with the aim of linking them to essential funding, resources, and a supportive community. Through our membership community, deal flow newsletter, and events, we strive to narrow the funding gap that underrepresented founders often face. Join us on this journey!

Our Story

In November 2022, our founder Cydney White attended AfroTech, the premier Black Tech conference for tech innovators and professionals. Initially, she went with the intention of participating in the career expo. However, what transpired was truly inspiring – encountering visionary founders who were passionately bringing their dreams to fruition each day. Motivated by this experience, Cydney returned home with a mission: to connect with underrepresented founders. Frustrated by the fragmented resources available for outreach, she aspired to create a platform that would bring these exceptional founders directly to her, and Cynsus was born. Now, Cydney hopes to share her finds with investors and other founders to help move the entrepreneurial ecosystem forward and help more underrepresented founders receive funding.
