Section 01 · The Why
Black leaders are building companies, shaping culture, and moving capital. But the rooms where relationships turn into opportunity are fragmented, closed, or built without these leaders in mind.
We gather to change that.
For partners, it's rare access to the tastemakers and decision-makers shaping what comes next.
Section 02 · The Opportunity
Martha's Vineyard proved the model. The American Riviera is the opportunity.
ProvenMartha's Vineyard
- $30M+ generated annually from Black travelers
- Approx. 20,000 visitors return each summer
- Home to established cultural and professional gatherings, including MVAAFF, Black Economic Forum, and SEW
- Built on decades of Black leisure, leadership, and community tradition
The real product is access, proximity, trust, and repeat visitation.
The OpeningThe American Riviera
- 6.5M visitors annually to the Santa Barbara South Coast
- $2.24B in annual visitor spending across the region
- Minutes from wine country and ~90 minutes from Los Angeles
- 175K+ Black college-educated adults in LA County and 100K+ Black-owned firms across LA and the Inland Empire
The infrastructure exists. The audience exists. The membership layer does not.
A proven model. A clear West Coast gap.
A partnership opportunity hiding in plain sight.
