Investing in Deaf-Owned Businesses
CSD Social Venture Fund was formed in 2018 with the goal of supporting Deaf entrepreneurs in addressing these two major issues facing our community. We began by providing equity investments in Deaf-owned businesses that had a social impact.
Since then, our services have expanded to providing resources for entrepreneurs at all stages of their journey. We hope we get the chance to support you and your business, and look forward to watching you grow.
