He's hustled and he's seen how to grow a business, and he wanted to give back. So he started Helius (now Echo) because he wanted to level the playing field when it came to minority and women owned businesses. According to Geraud, "There are too many knowledgeable business people in our community for anyone to not have the skills they need to survive as hard working entrepreneurs." ---Geraud Staton is the CEO of Echo, Coach, Actor and Painter.Hosted by Trevor Schmidt, Founder Shares is brought to you by Hutchison PLLC and is edited and produced by Earfluence.

Keith Daniel and Tom Droege saw a problem in the startup and investment community - Black founders are not on equal ground when trying to build a business. They saw it in their interactions with founders and investors, but they also looked at it from a historical context. The oppression of the Black community in America starting with slavery, then barriers to owning land, and barriers to vote. That takes decades to overcome - but Keith and Tom are trying to accelerate that process.Keith Daniel and Tom Droege are the Co-Founders of Resilient Ventures, a committed capital fund dedicated to disrupting systemic economic injustice by expanding access to capital, networks, and opportunity to African American founders.

At Hutchison PLLC, we specialize in working with startups, so we completely understand that when you’re trying to build a business from nothing, legal isn’t always your top priority. You need to quickly figure out product market fit, cash flow, finding investors, and about a hundred other tasks. But there are some things, like how you work with employees and contractors, that if you don’t get it right initially, it can have huge tax and equity implications down the road. We are always happy to clean up any mess you may find yourself in, but it’s a whole lot easier to set everything up the right way from the start. So today we're joined by Employment Law Attorney Ashley K Pittman to help guide us through employment law for startups.Hosted by Trevor Schmidt, Founder Shares is brought to you by Hutchison PLLC and is edited and produced by Earfluence.

Josh Owen never looked at himself as an entrepreneur. He formed his first company Tryon Solutions to do some consulting work, and before he knew it, the company had grown to the point where it had about 100 employees. For Josh, it was time to try another idea, which required funding. Even after a $2.5M raise to start his new company Cycle Labs, he still doesn't think of himself as an entrepreneur - he's simply someone who likes to solve problems.Hosted by Trevor Schmidt, Founder Shares is brought to you by Hutchison PLLC and is edited and produced by Earfluence.
