Venture capital has a diversity problem . BLCK VC , a new organization founded by Storm Ventures associate Frederik Groce and NEA associate Sydney Sykes to connect, engage and advance black venture capitalists, is ready for a new era in the industry. Their mission: Turn 200 black investors into 400 black investors by 2024. “We think of ourselves as an organization formed by black VCs for blacks VCs to increase the representation of black investors,” Sykes told TechCrunch. “You can look around and say well ‘I know five black VCs,’ but you can also say this firm does not have a single black VC, they may not even have a single underrepresented minority … We want to make firms reckon with the fact that there is a racial diversity problem; there is a lack of black VCs and every firm should really care about it.” BLCK VC has been at work since the beginning of 2018, building and expanding a network of black investors in the San Francisco area, Los Angeles and New York.

Popular Nigerian Artiste Oritse Femi real name Oritsefemi Majemite Ekele was born on January 5, 1985. He was born in Ajegunle area of Lagos state but hails from itsekiri in Warri, Delta state. He was a member of the group called the Junglist boys comprising of Oritse Femi and Chi-Junglist. The group broke up in 2006 after a disagreement between the two and they both went their separate paths.
As a solo act, he released an album ‘Elewon’ and the hit single ‘flog politicians’ which was inspired by the level of corruption in the country at the time. He released a second solo album which he titled “wicked world” which contained the hit track “mercy of the lord”. According to him, he was inspired by his earlier love for material things and how his mum helped him to seek the face of God. He has seven albums to his name as a solo artist which includes “double wahala”, “Corporate miscreant”, “musical Taliban” among others.
In 2010 his remake of Fela Anikulapo “Double Wahala” showed that the singer wasn’t ready to go slow as the hit song was inspired by the suffering of the average man in Nigeria. The song won him the best Vocal Performance, at 2014 The Headies award. The song also won him four City People Entertainment Awards in four categories. The success of the hit song “double wahala” earned him the opportunity to do the remix with DB record boss D’banj. 2014 was a good year for the musician as he was able to carve a niche for himself in the Nigeria music industry and win the hearts of numerous fans which was evident in his award recognition and social media following.
Based on our findings Oritse Femi networth is estimated to be around $760 000 USD.
The singer has headlined numerous performances and shows and makes a lot of money on a monthly basis as he dedicates his success to God and gives him all the glory. And according to the singer “I never thought I would ever climb to the where I am today. But I thank God that I have been able to get a good packaging from my record label, Shining Entertainment which was a different level from the way I was before. In the past, I had a lot of good music but there was nobody to protect me. Now, I have got a lot of opportunities to show to the world the creativity that I possess.
The singer moved into a 200 million naira home in Lekki phase 1 which was a big deal to him as he used to live in a wooden house when he was growing up in the streets of Ajegunle. He also acquired a brand new 2014 Range Rover Evoque estimated at 25 million naira.
In 2017 the singer walked down the aisle with his heartthrob Miss Nabila Fash. He showed his romantic side after splashing millions of naira on advertising his pre-wedding photos on a billboard at the Lekki-Ikoyi roundabout. The singer who is currently expecting a baby with his wife has two daughters out of wedlock at a young age when he was still finding it difficult to break through the music scene.
