What is WHERE’S THE FUNDING??

The WHERE’S THE FUNDING? podcast demystifies entrepreneurship and the fog around funding. Black and other underserved entrepreneurs share their entrepreneurship journeys, fundraising experiences, and success connecting to capital to inform, motivate, and inspire other entrepreneurs on a similar journey. I also interview investors and others on the funding side to share valuable knowledge about investing and fundraising.
