Black-led investment fund Apis & Heritage Capital has closed its inaugural flagship Legacy Fund I at $58.1 million, beating its initial cap of $50 million. 

The fund is focused on helping low income workers and workers of color to become owners/operators of businesses. 

“The whole A&H team is humbled by the outpouring of interest and support from the investment community for our novel approach,” said Todd Leverette, A&H founding partner, in a statement. “We are trying to create a better path for employees, especially workers of color, to gain from their own hard work and innovation, while also building great small companies into great bigger companies. We are deeply grateful to our institutional investors and individuals for believing in our team and our model, and are only sorry that we could not accommodate every investor who wanted to be a part of Legacy Fund I.”
