Strive is an intentional and impactful initiative that will utilize Buzzer’s unifying platform to create equitable outcomes for Black, Indigenous and People of Color.
Buzzer is dedicated to leveling the playing field. Through our company’s mission, values, product and financial tools, we create more opportunities for communities of color. Strive will serve as that vehicle for Buzzer to drive positive change and outcomes in our society.
1% of the company’s equity will be allocated to ‘leveling the playing field.’ This fund will ensure that Strive is prioritized and scales at the same rate of our growth. The investment will support Strive’s mission, partners and causes. As the company grows, so does our investment in this area.
1% of net profits will be reinvested into partnering with non-profits focused on enhancing and empowering Black communities and communities of color. This solution is meant to partner with and contribute to impactful organizations that are providing resources and support for our future leaders and customers.
Invite participation and engagement from each and every Buzzer customer to affect change through partnerships with non-profit organizations aligned with Strive’s mission and vision. The ambition of this commitment is to leverage the Buzzer platform to highlight opportunities for consumers to engage with and learn about organizations that are investing in communities of color.
Established in 2020, the Strive Mentorship Program aims to foster meaningful connections between college students, with a special emphasis for those enrolled in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority Serving Institutions (MRIs), with experienced industry professionals in the following sectors:

The interactive program will allow mentees and mentors to discuss a range of topics, from career and professional goals, experiences in the workplace, building their leadership skills, to identifying strengths and weaknesses. Through facilitated sessions, both mentors and mentees will have a chance to cultivate strong relationships, ultimately providing the opportunity to learn and grow.
