Love your breakdown of the good and not so good of VC funding vs going public!

sadly I don't use iTunes but I think the #techish podcast deliveries a really personal connection to technology and black culture. It feels like the kind of conversation I want to have when I am at the barber or sitting at the hair salon.
Jomari Peterson
the inequities between black americans and white Americans is why I am so excited about purpose driven opportunity zones. I am glad you are speaking to these issues.
Jomari Peterson
thoroughly enjoying your podcast.i am looking forward to hearing more
