The PIT is where underinvested, underrepresented founders in Atlanta roll up their sleeves and get to work.
We’re in the trenches together. Working. Growing. Scaling.
Not playing startup . We are building real businesses with real revenue and real exits.

And like the pit of a peach, we believe something powerful is growing right here in Georgia.
Over the next five years, we're betting big: $250M in mergers, acquisitions, and exits led by PIT founders.

The PIT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. This isn’t a membership club, and it’s definitely not a hustle.
Fees are reinvested back into programming, resources, and support for PIT founders.

We (Khadijah, Kim and Donald) do this because we’ve been in the PIT ourselves.

We know what it's like to build without access.
We know what it's like to stretch every dollar.
And we believe Black founders deserve more than inspiration. You deserve infrastructure.
