Startup NOLA

I have a passion for mentoring young entrepreneurs. I made so many mistakes when I was young - an amazing, trial by fire, learning experience. Being able to help others avoid the same mistakes that I made, personally and professionally, brings me immense joy and satisfaction. If you are a young founder looking for guidance. There are plenty of quality people out there looking to help. If you’re a young founder in South LA, I want to hear from you! Do you think it would add value to work with someone who will tell you things that no employee or cofounder ever would? Most of the time they don’t know what to ask. If you fit this mold. Maybe it’s time to consider engaging someone that can help navigate the pot holed streets of being a young founder/entrepreneur.
