Pharrell Williams has launched Black Ambition, a non-profit initiative providing 'a bridge to success for Black and Latinx entrepreneurs who are launching tech, design, healthcare, and consumer products/services start-ups'.

Black Ambition is supported by funding from adidas, Chanel, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, The Rockefeller Foundation, Tony’s Chocolonely and the Visa Foundation, and Off-White founder The Estate Of Virgil Abloh is actively involved with the initiative and contributed the Black Ambition logo and identity concept design. The Happy hitmaker commented 'Recent events and tragedies have illustrated the always existent stark divisions in the American experience... With Black Ambition, the goal is to help strengthen the pipeline of talented entrepreneurs and close the opportunity and wealth gaps derived from limited access to capital and resources'.
