I was named to the Forbes 250, Forbes’ list of America’s Greatest Innovators. I didn’t know this was coming and I’m truly grateful. Humbled to be included among leaders building and backing the future. For me, it’s a reminder to keep learning and keep building.

Great conversations at dinner. Ranging from future of tech to self-improvement to investing to health to family. 💪🏽💪🏽

[Henri Pierre-Jacques @hpierrejacques]

Last night, we hosted our Black Male Unicorn Dinner at Tatiana’s, led by NYC’s top Black chef. It was an unforgettable evening that left me inspired.

Of the ~20 Black men who’ve raised $100M+ in VC, we were honored to have 4 in the room — plus our special guest, Colin Kaepernick, a unicorn in his own right. Collectively, they’ve raised $800M+ and successfully exited 3 companies

These extraordinary men remind me of the power we have to create our own tables and build opportunities that uplift our community. Conversations like these are essential to foster collaboration and amplify our collective impact.
