Running a business is undeniably challenging.
As a Black Founder,
you face unique hurdles in addition to the usual demands—managing marketing, employees, finances, raising capital, serving clients, and staying organized. These challenges can often feel overwhelming, especially when you feel like you have to tackle them all on your own.
But the truth is: you don’t have to do it alone.
What you need is a supportive, engaged community that truly understands the unique challenges you face. A space where you can connect with potential collaborators, referrers, and partners who can help you navigate these challenges. Access to resources and expert training from experienced founders who have been in your shoes and successfully overcome similar obstacles.
Imagine having a single, go-to place where you can find all the support and resources you need to thrive. A community where you can share your experiences, learn from others, and grow together.
That’s where BOBKC Elite comes in. We provide a comprehensive support system designed specifically for Black founders, offering networking opportunities, educational content, and access to funding resources. Join us and be part of a vibrant community that is dedicated to helping you achieve real business growth and success.
You don’t have to do it alone!
BOBKC Elite truly has you covered, no matter what stage your business is in.

BLACK OWNED BUSINESS KANSAS CITY
Hi! In case we haven’t met before, I’m Marsha Willis, the founder of BOBKC.
Yoga takes you into the present moment. The only place where life exists.
I learned early on that the key to success is the community you build around your business. I created BOBKC Elite to provide you with the support and resources I wished I had when I was starting my first company. Over the years, I realized that a community like ours is critical at every stage of business. Now, we’re making it simpler and easier than ever for you to take advantage of all that we have to offer, for life!
As your business grows, I want you to have the peace of mind that BOBKC Elite will be there for you every step of the way. We are continuously evolving our offerings to always serve you, no matter where you are in your founder journey.
The BOBKC Elite Lifetime Access Membership will provide you with the lifelong support, tools, and resources you need to achieve your business goals, without worrying about recurring fees each year.
I prioritize direct, authentic connections with our community members. When you become a member, you’ll actually see me around! I regularly check in on the community platform, helping make introductions and answering questions.
Plus, I host at least one live founder Office Hour session each month, where you’ll be able to pop in and ask me anything you’ve been dying to know or want feedback on.
(In other words, when I say I “can’t wait to meet you!”…I actually mean it!)
Every day, I celebrate the incredible wins resulting from the meaningful relationships being formed inside the community. I am absolutely thrilled to offer a way to ensure you always have the ability to connect with like-minded founders and generate lasting impact for your business for years to come. You’re not just a founder; you’re a part of BOBKC Elite.
