Black Licorice backs Indonesian founders & CEOs working in maternal health & malnutrition— individuals & their teams already proving what’s possible, but still too often going unseen, unheard & underfunded.

We ensure fellows build the fundamentals serious funders look for: strong boards, honest budgets (we want to know the price of soap), clear strategies, sound governance, & sharp KPIs.

The goal is simple: equip founders with the tools & confidence to seek out & secure unresrticted multiyear funding.

Our bet is on founders building durable organizations, transforming systems, and reaching people at a scale that matters. We're here to help them grow into the kind of institutions donors can trust & communities can rely on.
