• “What we desire, doesn’t exist… And it’s up to us to change that.”

    – Kim Crayton

  • It’s not the idea or the drive that’s stopping you. It’s the folks gatekeeping the opportunities, knowledge and resources.

  • So we’re building an ecosystem of community resources and a showcase of businesses that embody profit without oppression.

  • The Crayton Collaborative is an open room that allows access – entry, exit, or simply observation – from any direction.

DISCOVER opportunities.

Forget about the competition found in traditional VC or incubator environments. There are alternatives outside the systems, institutions and policies that are designed for discrimination, oppression, harm and racism.

We’re here to showcase better ways to thrive.

DEVELOP knowledge.

It’s a cliché for a reason: knowledge is, in fact, power. How do you bring your brilliant idea to life? What kind of funding will it require? What happens when a bias is triggered and a social media storm erupts?

We’re here to help build your business, your way.

DEDICATE resources.

Access to an attorney, the expertise of public relations, or a microloan of $10k may mean nothing to the so-called big guys. But that access could make or break your business. 

We’re here to help forge your success.

 

The Crayton Collaborative is not working to dismantle the systems, institutions and policies rooted in white supremacy and demanding of assimilation.

Our energies and talents are better spent elsewhere.

We’re here to build our own systems. Systems that work for marginalized and vulnerable communities for whom profit without oppression is inherently at the root of their ethos.
