Following the launch of the “Keep it in the Culture” campaign during Black History and Black Future Month, droppTV received several hundred nominations of Black-owned businesses.

“We are extremely proud to partner with these superb Black-owned businesses and assist them in scaling and growing their business. In particular, we are focused on helping the businesses leverage the momentum of Web3 elements such as Crypto, NFTs, shopatainment and the metaverse. Being early and being educated on how these elements can help extend businesses is our key objective,” says Gurps Rai, droppTV’s CEO and co-founder.

“Their “Keep it in the Culture” initiative showcases the stories, dreams and aspirations of Black entrepreneurs, something that is very close to my heart,” said DJ Duffey.
