The COME UP Group
The COME UP Group (CUG) empowers current and aspiring entrepreneurs of color across North Carolina to build sustainable prosperity and generational wealth. We believe entrepreneurship and real estate are powerful tools for bridging opportunity gaps and fostering social progress. Through entrepreneurship, individuals are empowered to reach their full potential, shaping their own success stories and paving their pathway for economic empowerment. Real estate investment not only grows financial assets, but also creates tangible opportunities for wealth-building that can be passed down through generations. By supporting both entrepreneurial ventures and real estate initiatives, we aim to provide a holistic approach to wealth creation, encompassing not just financial gains but also education, values, and life skills that extend beyond monetary wealth.
At CUG, we understand that true success and progress are amplified when we work together as a collective. We believe in the power of collaboration, leveraging the strengths, knowledge, and resources of our community to build a foundation of shared success. We know the strength of that collective action and work to create a network of support that amplifies success for everyone. The POWER in that collective action is at the heart of our mission and is the drive we use to create lasting economic and social change and impact.
Vision Statement
We desire a world where Black and Brown individuals and communities not only overcome financial challenges, but thrive where wealth and opportunity are accessible to all. The COME UP Group serves as a catalyst to create lasting change, break down systemic barriers, inspire innovation, and foster a culture of economic empowerment.
Mission Statement
The COME UP Group is dedicated to empowering and uplifting black and brown individuals and communities by providing the tools, resources, and support needed to overcome financial barriers, achieve sustainable prosperity and create generational wealth; creating space where “we” have the chance to reach our full potential, contribute to society, and shape our own success stories.
