homegrown humanitarians.

Lack of Connectedness

Lack of Connectedness

Lack of Organization

Lack of Organization

Get To Know The Founders

Our physical bond was forged seven years ago on the campus of Morehouse College, but our spiritual bond goes back to the hoods that raised us – Chicago, Cleveland, and Brooklyn. We started BREAUX Capital with a $500 dollar investment and we will stop nothing short of shifting the culture of financial health for Black millennials across the globe.
