Black Unicorn Factory

Black Unicorn Factory (BUF) is a Los Angeles based pre-IPO business accelerator that prepares companies led by founders from underrepresented communities for direct listings on national stock exchanges, positioning equity rather than debt as the route to capital. Its programs run a four-step readiness pathway — foundation and readiness assessment, compliance and corporate structure, SEC filing and disclosure, and market readiness — alongside the New Black Wall Street pre-IPO program and the Follow Me For Equity (FMFE) platform, an iOS and Android application through which individuals earn stock in participating pre-IPO companies by completing verified social engagement tasks instead of investing cash. Black Unicorn Factory is a private company whose shares appear on secondary marketplaces; it publishes no public API, developer portal, SDKs, or machine-readable API contract.

Black Unicorn Factory is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Financial-Services, Venture Capital, Pre-IPO, and Startup Accelerator.

Black Unicorn Factory’s developer surface includes engineering blog, product news, support, signup flow, and 10 more developer resources.
