The Why
I am the co-Managing Director of Black Founders Matter and a Venture Capital Consultant who works with Angel Funds and Venture Firms along the West Coast. I have worked with seven different funds and am currently working with Portland Seed Fund as their diligence lead while actively raising for Black Founders Matter Fund I. I have a passion for expanding the accessibility of entrepreneurship to BIPOC and rural communities as a pathway for economic development and generational wealth building.
The How
In service of my passions, I have taken on roles of a Fund Manager, Speaker, and Educator. I have supported broader investment in diverse founders through workshops, panels, podcasts, and keynotes aimed at educating entrepreneurs and investors.
