I worked at a startup in this space (sharing economy rentals) and it's tough as hell. I hope they can pull it off because this is a great solution to a real problem that Airbnb can't do anything about to bury the competition because that can't make their users not racist.

The "problem" I see with this niche type of business is it may be hard for investors to invest in (would they take non black investment?) because investors want companies to get acquired or go public. Getting acquired would mean shuttering the business to avoid the competition or integrating Noirebnb's user base into the buyer's platform, which would defeat the purpose of the Airbnb'ing while black problem.

A business like this will need VC to scale. It probably isn't a business that could scale and sustain itself on transactions alone because you need massive investment to sustain the IT infrastructure that will occur will all those transactions, marketing to get the word out and a sales team to develop the supply side.

Anyways, I still love the idea and would invest in it (if they took CAC investment, of course).

Actually, now that I think about it, I might be able to provide an introduction to a black-owned venture capital firm. Anybody know the people who started it?

I hate it when new blacks and c00ns come outta no where with this sort of talk^^^

( idk this poster so I'm just using the quote as an example, idk how this other poster is either, but the quotes fit)

Revolutionary black people been talking about separation forever and some have been making moves. This isn't something we need to start doing, it's something we need to just do more . We need this to be proactive , instead of Always a Reaction to some typical crakker shyt.

A few posters back someone tried to call out the hoteps , some " hoteps" might be annoying but what's more annoying is the people who say borderline shyt all day then something happens that aligns with their capitalist ideology, that happens to be black people and they hit you with

"See now THIS is Reeeeally pro black ":mjpls:

Naw , it's pro original man all day everyday and separation and fukk these devils , or nothing at all.:stopitslime:

How am I a new black or c00n for wanting to be self sufficient and not have to rely on racist? Also I've been talking that shyt ever since I started her on the coli, I'm not just now saying the shyt. Right now I am freelancing and working on my business not working for any cacs and providing computer science services to blacks what are YOU doing?

Where does it say black only?

Are you out here saying the same shyt about Asian businesses that are oriented to their own people?

If you can't see the benefit in group economics, and providing a consequence to companies allowing racist shyt....the least you could do is not talk shyt and undermine what they're trying to do.

Just be content giving all your money to white people and pay no attention to what black people like this are doing.

Black folks really need to get away from this race first is racist line of thinking..others do this all the time.

I feel them , and I've had issue with white host's on air BnB before so I understand.

But when I had issues I demanded corporate do something to fix it or compensate me and got taken care of.
I just get a weird vibe from reactionary things like this, I want to support my people of course, but it feels like some separate but equal shyt to me in a way.

It's like why not force regular Air B&B to take action against the bad eggs, instead of letting the bad owners cook and it feels like capitulating to racism.

Black Business is always a W, but I never like giving racist CAC's an inch. But I've noticed lately this new 2014-Now wave of "consciousness" seems more geared to separating ourselves instead demanding what we're due sometimes. Not a diss btw, just the way I've seen things headed.

:dahell::dahell:so you'd rather fight, beg, and demanded to be treated fairly instead of building our own?

:dahell::dahell: u really begging to be accepted by people who have spent 500 years showing you how much they dont like u?
