In an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box", Paul Judge, CoFounder of Techsquare Labs said that it pays to invest in black-owned businesses. "It's not just the right thing to do, it's the profitable thing to do," says Judge. "Companies that have founders or execs that have people of color actually deliver a return that's 30% higher than their counterparts." Despite this, research found that only 1% of Black-owned businesses receive venture capital funds. (View source.)

When asked why the company is seeking funds, founder Fred Mathis says, "Our business plan will be profitable, our technology is cutting-edge, we have an excellent management and development team, and we are ready to bring the StacKz App to market. However, we need funds in order to do so. We applied for a State of Delaware EDGE Grant, but the program was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We know we have challenges, but it is important now more than ever for Black-owned companies to have a voice and a presence in America's finance and technology sectors. We are offering a fair equity stake in our company to the right investor. Our purpose is far too important."

Subscriptions to the StacKz App will start at just $2.99/month. Subscription and investor information can be found at StacKzApp.com.
