Excited to hangout with founder tonight! Last week, we hosted our 5th startup meet that brought together a diverse group of 30 individuals, from ambitious college students to seasoned entrepreneurs. The energy was contagious as we exchanged ideas, shared challenges, and explored potential collaborations 🤗 We were particularly inspired by a 19-year-old student who's already building his own tech product. His enthusiasm to do this was inspiring! On the other hand, we connected with an entrepreneur who's building an EV and is currently facing a roadblock. This is exactly why these meetups are crucial - to share knowledge, offer support, and find solutions together. Beyond the insightful discussions, we had a blast with interactive games and networking opportunities. And of course, we shared some thought-provoking books to inspire everyone(of course how can we miss this😊) Stay tuned for more updates on our upcoming meetups! We're committed to leading a thriving startup community. If you wanna be a part of this, do follow us to get all updates of events.🤗 #startupmeetup #entrepreneurship 

Here's why funding is a nightmare for minority businesses. Did you know only 0.2% of publicly traded companies in the US are minority-owned? This lack of representation reflects a larger issue: access to capital for minority entrepreneurs. Public capital markets can be a powerful tool for growth, but for many, it's an out-of-reach dream. Here are 3 key takeaways: ✔Diversity = Economic Advantage: When minority-owned businesses thrive, they create jobs, fuel innovation, and strengthen local economies. ✔Rethinking Public Markets: We need a shift from a "one-size-fits-all" approach to stock exchanges. Tailored support and regulatory frameworks can empower smaller companies, especially those led by minorities. ✔Venture Exchanges Offer Hope: These exchanges cater to the specific needs of small and mid-sized businesses, providing crucial liquidity and oversight. This is more than just finance; it's about creating equal opportunity. Minority entrepreneurs deserve a shot at building thriving public companies. What are your thoughts on this topic?
