MEDA (Metropolitan Economic Development Association) 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.
