UMi has officially joined Operation Hope’s 1 Million Black Business Initiative (1MBB), recognizing that Data Sovereignty is the financial literacy of the digital age. Through this partnership, UMi helps equip entrepreneurs—including student-athletes and data creators—with the tools to monetize their data ethically. The $100B sports industry, for example, thrives on athlete-generated data, yet many athletes remain unaware of their digital economic potential. Operation Hope brings expertise in financial literacy, while UMi provides guidance on Data Sovereignty, IP protection, and digital economic empowerment. By merging these knowledge areas, UMi ensures that the next generation of entrepreneurs can leverage their data as an asset rather than surrendering it to exploitative markets.
