SPECIAL EPISODE! OUR 3RD ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎆
What an amazing three years!
Since we started in 2019, we’ve had 50 episodes interviewing 50 founders from 48 companies. As of mid-2022, our guests employ close to 500, and have collectively raised over $213M in outside funding. Incredible when you think about the challenges in fundraising that have faced all entrepreneurs, especially founders of color.
They would make a pretty great portfolio!
To celebrate our anniversary, we decided to go back to the beginning, 2019, and catch up with the 5 founders we had on the show that first year:
Stella Ashaolu of Wesolv, Kwame Boler of Neu (Spritz), Ikechi Nwabusi of TRiBL, Bara Cola of Carbice and Coack AK Ikwuakor from E-LETE Styles
I wanted to find out what the world of 2022 looked like compared to 2019, from their eyes.
Thanks to Stella, Kwame, Bara, Ikechi and Coach AK for catching us up and reflecting on their journeys.
Make sure to listen in.
In this episode:
- We review the last three year and where our past guests are collectively
