NEF Startup 2024 Community Champion Award

March 26, 2025

At our March 2025 event, we honored Alexa and Johnnie Turnage, Co-Founders of Black Tech Saturdays, with the 2024 NEF Community Champion Award for their transformative impact on the startup ecosystem. BTS has grown from a single event into a nationwide movement, empowering Black, Brown, and underestimated founders while driving over $30 million in economic impact. Recognized by the Governor, the Mayor of Detroit, and industry leaders, Alexa and Johnnie are reshaping Michigan’s innovation economy.

Watch the interview with Tim Moore, founder of ClixieAI, from our March event!
