12 episodes - English - Latest episode: 7 months ago - ★★★★★ - 5 ratings

We get it. This tech game is harder to win as a person of color, especially if we're playing by the same rules as our counterparts. Simply put, the rules of the game are not written for people who come from certain backgrounds. If we want to join in, we have to rewrite the playbook. Join Black & Brown Founders on the journey from ideation to revenue generation and beyond. Your hosts, Aniyia Williams and Deldelp Medina, are here to explain the rules of the game and how to build a badass tech business against all odds.
