Your application

Tell us what you can bring.

This is a contribution-based founding opportunity, not a promise of investment returns or guaranteed income. The inaugural class is limited and applications are reviewed.

Creators, builders, entrepreneurs, community organizers, and Veterans are welcome to describe how they can help.

  • Introduce yourself and describe the skills you can contribute.
  • Tell us what you would like to help build or improve.
  • Share your realistic weekly time commitment.
  • Include relevant work examples or links, if available.

Applications open in your email app and go to James@blackmallofamerica.com. Acceptance and next steps are confirmed directly; submitting is not enrollment.
