🎙️ IN THE TRENCHES EPISODE 3: JUNETEENTH EDITION✊🏾

What do you do when the funding doesn’t come?

For many founders, especially Black and Brown entrepreneurs, the answer is simple:

You keep building.

In this special Juneteenth edition of In The Trenches, we discuss the realities of bootstrapping, fundraising, overcoming bias, and building a business when access to capital isn’t guaranteed.

Key takeaways from this episode:

📊 Black founders have historically received less than 1% of venture capital funding despite building innovative companies across every industry.

💼 Your 9-to-5 can be your first investor. Many founders use their careers to fund their vision while building after hours.

🧠 Investing in your skills, education, and personal growth can be one of the highest-return investments you’ll ever make.

🚀 Success isn’t always about raising capital. Sometimes it’s about staying in the game long enough for opportunity to find you.

Featuring:

🚀 Dahmari Taplin — Zigga | Founder Fumbles Podcast

📚 Kyle Colley — BookUm

🏆 Donavan Bennett — MiliLlama

🤖 Caleb Kioh — WalletGyde

As we celebrate Juneteenth, this conversation serves as a reminder that resilience, perseverance, and determination have always been part of the entrepreneurial journey.

Some key takeaways from the conversation:

💡 Adaptability is often a founder’s greatest advantage.

💡 Customer feedback can completely reshape your business.

💡 Retaining customers is just as important as acquiring them.

💡 Growth comes from learning through mistakes, not avoiding them.

💡 The entrepreneurial journey is rarely linear.

💡🚀 What Angel Investors Really Look For 🎙️

Most founders think investors are looking for the perfect pitch, the perfect product, or massive revenue.

According to Natalie Levy, that’s not necessarily the case.

In this clip, Natalie shares what actually gets her excited as an angel investor:

💡 Founders who are taking action before they have everything figured out

⚡ Curiosity, grit, and a growth mindset

📈 Evidence of execution, even before raising capital

🧠 Thoughtfulness around the business and how funding will be used

🚀 A willingness to build, learn, and adapt

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation:

Many of the barriers founders believe are holding them back aren’t actually real.

You may not have all the answers.
You may not have revenue yet.
You may not feel 100% ready.

But investors want to see momentum.

They want to see that you’re building, testing, learning, and moving forward despite uncertainty.

That’s what separates an idea from a company.
