What if the future of entrepreneurship wasn’t just about growth, but about ownership, equity, and shared prosperity?

In this powerful episode of the Entrepreneurship Lab Podcast, I sit down with Alfredo Mathew III, Founder and CEO of SPCC.1 and co-founder of ESO Ventures.

With over 25 years at the intersection of education, workforce development, and entrepreneurship, Alfredo has dedicated his career to building inclusive and regenerative economies.

From being named Teacher of the Year in the Bronx to connecting thousands of students with Silicon Valley opportunities, to helping incubate over 500 Black and Brown-owned businesses through ESO Ventures, Alfredo’s journey is as inspiring as it is impactful.

Now, through SPCC.1, he’s pioneering the world’s first Shared Prosperity Community Corporation—an ambitious vision to empower underinvested communities by consolidating small businesses, unlocking capital, and building sustainable economic engines across the globe.

Tune in to discover how Alfredo is redefining entrepreneurship, why shared prosperity is the future of business, and how bold ideas can transform communities worldwide.
