    Morgan DeBaun on Reaching 20M Millennials - With Kat Manalac at the Female Founders Conference

    Morgan DeBaun, Kat Manalac

    Founded by Morgan de Bon in 2014, Blavity has evolved from a bootstrapped text-based blog into the largest media company for Black millennials, now serving over seven million readers through a community-first model that leverages user-generated content. After securing a $1 million Series A by demonstrating robust organic growth, the company successfully expanded its portfolio by acquiring Shadow and Act and launching verticals like 2190 and Afrotech conferences. De Bon's journey highlights a strategic pivot from traditional editorial control to empowering creators, overcoming early fundraising rejections by validating the unique ecosystem of Black audiences against standard industry benchmarks.
