When a founder begins raising money for their business, they will often start with a “friends and family round” before seeking out loans or venture capital. While this is a viable option for some, not everyone has access to a network of deep-pocketed friends and family.
Enter: Friends & Family with Aurora James. We may not all have access to a “friends & family” round when launching a new venture, but on this podcast, we’re here to be YOUR friends and family in business. Whether you’re fundraising or bootstrapping, join Aurora James, founder of the Fifteen Percent Pledge, alongside some of the most inspiring Black founders as they share wisdom and act as your support system while you build your business and scale for success.
Friends & Family is brought to you by Fifteen Percent Pledge and produced in partnership with Alkemie Sound Lab. Our sponsor this season is Citi. Citi Financial Pathways has resources to help you meet your goals.
