What XIS Global does

XIS Global, doing business as XIS Global and legally organized as 3.0 Nexus Group LLC, is a private US-based startup agency and media platform founded in 2017 and headquartered in Englewood, Colorado. The company serves multicultural millennial founders and professionals in CSTEAM sectors (Computer Science, Social Impact, Education, Arts, and Media), positioning itself around documented funding gaps—citing that 8% of venture capital flows to women-led companies, 1% to companies with a Black founder, and 21% of philanthropic dollars to diverse founders. Geographic scope is stated as the United States and the African continent, with an explicit thesis of bridging fragmented investment resources between the two markets.

The company's product surface is an integrated media ecosystem comprising four modules: a Media module delivering original and syndicated content, a Database acting as a composite directory of ecosystem resources, programs, events, companies, and people, a Community social network connecting entrepreneurs, investors, professionals, and mentors, and a Support module providing direct communication and mentorship access. Layered on top is the #DISRUPTTHEDIVIDE event series, featuring dueling panels of entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and business leaders, and a standalone Agency Services offering that mentors and represents startups in de-risking operations, infrastructure building, and capital raising.

The business model combines two stated revenue streams: Agency Services (categorized as professional services) and Media Platform Services (categorized as subscription/recurring). Go-to-market is described as event-driven and community-led, with organic social channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and content platforms (Medium, YouTube) feeding top-of-funnel awareness, while #DISRUPTTHEDIVIDE events and direct outreach drive mid-funnel engagement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears to be custom per category (Founder, Media, Investor, Potential Partner). The company has not disclosed funding, headcount, revenue, or named customers; one executive, Sara Luisa Jardim (CCO), is identified in available materials.
