Entrepreneur & Investor, Founder & CEO at Claure Group
In 2020, while at SoftBank Group Corp., Paul Judge, Stacy Brown-Philpot and I created the Opportunity Fund because we saw a deep need to support underrepresented founders. When we then purchased the fund from SoftBank and created the Open Opportunity Fund, we further solidified our commitment and belief in Black and Latino entrepreneurs. Today, we’re honored to have the support of the greatest city in the world—New York City. This backing fuels our ability to empower diverse entrepreneurs who are building the future of tech, finance, healthcare, and beyond. A huge thank you to New York City Economic Development Corporation for recognizing the importance of leveling the playing field for all founders. When we invest in diverse talent, we drive economic growth, job creation, and game-changing innovation. https://lnkd.in/efAYCKBN

Had a wonderful evening recently at Morehouse College’s annual Candle In the Dark gala in Atlanta with my Open Opportunity Fund partners, Paul Judge and Chad Harris. Really great to reconnect with Morehouse’s President, David Thomas, among so many life long (and new) friends. Sharing these moments with my life partner, Lela Weems, MD, and dearest brothers Derek L. Grayson and Craig Huffman made it even more special. A great time was had by all! #MemorableNight #Grateful #OpenOpportunityFund
