A venture capital firm founded by Black women kept a case away from the U.S. Supreme Court that could have ended race-based entrepreneurial funding nationwide.
The Atlanta-based Fearless Fund settled a lawsuit Wednesday with the American Alliance for Equal Rights — the same conservative advocacy group responsible for bringing the case that ended affirmative action programs in college admissions.

The program offered $20,000 to each of four winners in an effort to help Black women build growth within the venture capital industry. To be eligible, a business must be at least 50% owned by Black women.
