In the first episode of Rich Lessons, Sevetri Wilson and Sheena Allen share their journeys from small-town roots in the South to becoming successful entrepreneurs. They discuss how they built their first companies, navigated challenges as Black women in tech, and transitioned from bootstrapped ventures to raising millions in venture capital. From pitching big ideas to learning the hard lessons of fundraising and accelerators, Sevetri and Sheena reflect on the wins, setbacks, and growth that shaped their paths. Join them as they launch Rich Lessons, a podcast about the valuable (and costly) experiences that define success.
