Metropolitan Economic Development Association

Helping BIPOC Entrepreneurs Succeed!

Meda was founded in 1971 with the mission of Helping BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Entrepreneurs Succeed. Our founders believed wealth creation is key to creating racial economic equity and that successful BIPOC Entrepreneurship is the clearest path to creating wealth. Meda fulfills its mission by providing integrated, wrap-around services in the three areas all entrepreneurs need to succeed: Management Education, Money, and Market. In our first fifty years, Meda has served more than 25,000 BIPOC Entrepreneurs creating thriving communities through equal economic participation.

Together, we can grow Meda to serve as a national best-in-class organization and go-to resource that is fiercely accountable to our mission of helping BIPOC Entrepreneurs succeed.

Together, 

Meda
