"While working and building in the Cote D'Ivore, Ghana and Togo, West Africa I learned of The Emperor Mansa Musa. He brought together builders, scientists, astronomers, mathematicians and funded the creations of multiple platforms that exist to this day. The Mansa Fund works in this same vein. Bravo!"

Our Mission
The Mansa Fund's name derives from Mansa Musa, the ancient leader of West Africa's Malian Empire.
Mansa Musa is widely known as the most successful trader to have ever lived, providing much of the ancient world's supply of gold.
His legacy was one of success, abundance and adept skill and The Mansa Fund's mission of helping Black and LatinX entrepreneurs thrive is embodied in his legacy.
