Becoming an entrepreneur is tough. When it comes to launching new and innovative business ideas, you need the right types of support to turn dreams into reality. That’s why making inroads into industries like tech can be especially hard for African American, Black, Hispanic American and Latinx entrepreneurs. With less access to networks of mentors and investors, the odds of success are not in their favor.
This episode focuses on the systemic barriers to success that African American, Black, Hispanic American and Latinx entrepreneurs, creatives and founders continue to face… and what needs to be done to remove them.
Guests:
Pharrell Williams, Musician, Producer, Founder of Black Ambition Prize
Kathryn Ross, Global Open Innovation Lead and Black Founders Development Program Lead, Accenture
Kamilah Forbes, Executive Producer, Apollo Theatre
Co-hosts: Jimmy Etheredge and Emmanuel Acho
