We're eliminating the relationship gap that stands in the way of success for tech social entrepreneurs/diverse founders.
关于我们
No entrepreneur can succeed without a strong network of support. But because of the ways access and opportunity have traditionally been distributed, social entrepreneurs and diverse founders are less likely to know people from top colleges and companies than their counterparts. This means they have less robust networks to draw on for advice, customers, funding, and professional growth. We call this the Relationship Gap. Goodie Nation exists to eliminate the relationship gap that stands in the way of success for too many promising entrepreneurs, especially those who are people of color, women, or aren't located in coastal financial centers. By making sure that every entrepreneur, no matter their background or location, can access the relationships they need to thrive, we are building a more sustainable and prosperous future for all. Our super power is the ability to make the right connection at the right time, and we leverage our extensive network to create deep relationships that lead to revenue and funding, less stress, and better CEOs.

Being that I am very resourceful and kind of an information hoarder ( ?? ), I am on several email distribution lists, specifically about being Black In Technology. One particular email I received was about Angel Investing and the opportunity to become educated about it. It snagged my attention because it was NOT just for Accredited Investors but also Unaccredited Investors, which I am. So I applied and we recently had the Kickoff on Wednesday. Thank you to Goodie Nation team for this opportunity and selecting me and the other 40+ individuals to become an Angel Investor through education and networking. You can read more at the article below. #AngelInvestor #AccreditedInvestor #UnaccreditedInvestor
