📢 Dr. Sankare shared a powerful message on the podcast about existing, fully and unapologetically, as a young Black Muslim woman in cybersecurity.🎭 She doesn’t wear a mask. She doesn’t list her credentials to prove anything. She lets her work speak.

And she reminds us: 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡.

The investor panel gives advice about valuations (and more). “Don’t base your valuation on ego. Focus on the fundamentals of your business. “

And also - this is a slow time in investing. Start early, get to know investors. Investors also want to know founders who have good who really understand their business, their unit economics.

The Trailblazer Talk with OG Arabian Prince featured great advice coming at a fast clip. From stories of being a school kid selling Twinkies and mix tapes to his peers in Compton, to becoming an investor, a rap legend, a programmer, and a very savvy business person, Arabian dropped a lot of wisdom, especially the ever famous “read the contract and make sure it benefits you, not just the other guy“

What would you change about investing, for you?

Margo Jordan: "If I had a magic wand, I would make pattern matching in VC go away. Successful companies can come from places like Milwaukee, WI, not only Silicon Valley"

Ashlee Wisdom: "I didn't like the fact that I'd probably have to get a co-founder from one of the Ivies. Instead I strategically got a job where I would meet health tech VC's and get in the door that way"

#NexCubedDemoDay #BlackInTech

Ashlee Wisdom, Founder and CEO of Health in Her Hue (https://healthinherhue.com/) on raising funds and holding the line on what she needs from investors, despite impostor syndrome: "I don't want my company to be under-valued because I'm a black woman. So I ask for what I know I deserve with the understanding that they will try to knock it down. I back this up with data." 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Margo Jordan, Founder and CEO of Enrichly (https://www.enrich.ly) on her funding journey: "I hated 'begging' people for money, so I focused on growing my business. That proved successful. Now I let people introduce me to investors - investors come to me, so I can get investment on my terms." #NexCubedDemoDay #BlackInTech

The first panel, with powerful folks in R&D working to include more under-represented people at the table. #NexCubedDemoDay #BlackInTech
