DreamBloc Connects Diverse Founders to Capital as They Receive Less Than 2% of U.S. VC Funding

Summary
DreamBloc is positioning itself as infrastructure for diverse entrepreneurs, linking creatives and founders to capital, partnerships and revenue opportunities rather than serving only as a discovery platform.
Less than 2% of U.S. venture funding goes to diverse founders, while Black-owned businesses account for about 3% of U.S. firms despite representing more than 13% of the population.
The platform says access is delivered through partnerships with Camelback Ventures, Build in Tulsa and Accenture, aiming to turn one-off exposure into sustained business pipelines.
That model targets a wider gap in the creator economy, which Goldman Sachs projects will approach $500 billion by 2027 even as many creators still struggle to convert visibility into stable income.
The pitch also ties entrepreneurship to the future of work: McKinsey estimates up to 30% of U.S. work hours could be automated by 2030, making ownership of brands and intellectual property more central to wealth creation.
