Putting AI in the hands of Massachusetts' Black-owned businesses
Preferred AI trainer and certified technical assistance vendor. The BECMA AI Series reached a 100 percent engagement and recommendation rate, and Project Lookout was designed and built with BECMA members.
The Black Economic Council of Massachusetts is the lab’s deepest partnership. It began with training: a series of live, hands-on sessions for BECMA member businesses on using AI for lead generation, marketing, grants, procurement, and operations. Participants rated it a 100 percent recommendation rate, and several of their words are on this site.
It became a product. Project Lookout was designed with BECMA members, tested inside their businesses, and reshaped by what they told us. It now sweeps 100+ sources every night for the grants, contracts, and RFPs those businesses were never able to chase.
