DMZ's Black Innovation Breakfast
Let’s talk about the hustle – and what comes after it.
Black Innovation Breakfast is back — DMZ’s quarterly meetup for Black founders, innovators and community builders to connect, swap ideas and get real about the journey.
This edition? We’re breaking the silence on burnout.
Under the theme “Beyond the grind – founder wellness and burnout in Black tech,” we’re diving into what it really takes to stay well while building something big.
Burnout hits hard — but for Black founders, the stakes are even higher. Bias, funding gaps, cultural pressure, the weight of representation — it all adds up. In this honest panel, we’ll unpack the grind, the systems that feed it, and how to push back without losing yourself in the process.
No fluff, no filters — just the truth, tools and people who get it.
