Events can be draining. Most of the time they are. Black Tech Fest wasn’t. There is something about this event which allowed me to be me. 🎧 Maybe it was the music. 👨🏾💻 Maybe it was the people. 🌶️ Maybe it was the food. 📝 Maybe it was the agenda. Maybe it was the amalgam of the above. Was great to listen to speakers, catch up with old friends (Carina), and even make some new friends! (Shout out to the mad convo with Ebun, Bushra, Ayodele and the hype Aisha… with Emmanuel listening in stealth mode) Hats off to Colorintech for inviting me to a VIP breakfast for founders and CEOs too! Don’t ask me why, but I often feel REALLY weird describing my startup Ambitious Rewards to people, but it is so much easier when around my people, especially as more interest is taken (thanks Bushra Ijaiya for taking keen interest!). Black Tech Fest I’ll be back! #blackfounder #blacktechfest #startup

🚀 Bridging Innovations at RythmHacks: My Journey with Paybridge Technologies 🚀 I had the privilege of representing Paybridge Technologies at the recent RythmHacks hackathon in Waterloo, Ontario, and it was an incredible experience! 💼 At Paybridge Technologies, our mission is to bridge different payment platforms seamlessly. At RythmHacks, my role as a sponsor representative was to spread the word about our company, connect with innovative minds, and contribute to the tech community in a unique way. 🤝 I had insightful conversations with hackathon attendees, discussing how Paybridge Technologies simplifies payment processes across platforms like Venmo, CashApp, and PayPal. It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm and interest in our mission. 💡 I also pitched our business to prominent organizations like MLH and Capital One, forging valuable connections that can drive future collaborations and innovations. 🌐 Beyond that, I worked on expanding our user base by signing up more individuals for our beta list and offering exclusive promotions to select members of the hackathon. Witnessing the excitement as they learned about the convenience and efficiency of our services was truly rewarding. 💪 It's essential for companies like Paybridge Technologies to support and inspire the next generation of tech enthusiasts. That's why I was thrilled to be part of an event like RythmHacks, where high school students could explore their passion for technology and entrepreneurship. 🚀 This experience reaffirmed my belief in the power of tech communities, collaboration, and innovation. It's not just about sponsorship; it's about making a meaningful impact and fostering connections in the tech world. Thank you, RythmHacks, for providing a platform to bridge inspiration and innovation. And a special thanks to Paybridge Technologies for allowing me to represent our mission at this fantastic event! #PaybridgeTechnologies #RythmHacks #TechInnovation #Sponsorship #Networking #TechCommunity

December 22, 2022 marked the start of my journey with Techstars. Securing a live 1:1 session with David Cohen, co-founder & CEO of Techstars, felt like winning the lottery. The 15 minutes he gifted me significantly advanced my approach with PairAnything (Techstars ‘24). From that moment on, I immersed myself in the #Techstars way. In the fall of 2023, my team and I were accepted into Techstars #RisingStar supporting underrepresented founders. I attended my first #FounderCon in SF, meeting many amazing, like-minded founders. Now, my team and I are soaking in our remaining time with amazing fellow founders-turned-friends and the top-notch program team (Neal Sales-Griffin Lilliana Robinson Sophie Davis Chloe Lannert & others) as we conclude the Techstars Oakland Spring 2024 Accelerator. I deeply embrace the #GiveFirst mindset. 🫶🏽 I take a moment to reflect and express gratitude 🙏 for my transformative experience at Techstars. The community has played a crucial role in identifying our #ICP and helping us with external capital readiness. If you're seeking support in your founder journey, consider Techstars. They invest in founders who dream big and have the relentless drive to execute. Applications are open year-round and considered on a rolling basis. I applied before the enrollment period started… I was that committed. 😉 One pivotal meeting in 2022 that supercharged my founder journey has led me to this point. I’m beyond excited to present at the Techstars Demo Day on May 30th on how we’re increasing retail sales for independent wineries. If you want a first-hand perspective about Techstars, I’m happy to share my cohort experience. If you’d like to support me on Demo Day, pls DM me for an invite! #Techstars4Life #TechstarsOakland #DemoDay #founderjourney #foundersupport #PairAnything #WineTech #RetailTech #ExperientialRetail

A friend asked me ‘why Manchester Tech Festival?’ When there is an abundance of tech events for all audiences and in the first year and a half of Beetroot Consulting, taking time away from the desk has to be limited. The question is still, why this tech festival? Then Amy Newton opened the festival with a powerful opening speech that said it all for me. I turned to my friend and I told her, ‘that’s why this festival’. For those that missed it, it went like this…. 🐝 MTF isn’t just a meet up for Tech people or wannabe tech people, it’s rooted in a social justice cause 🐝 The tech industry offers incredible roles, that are opportunities for people build the lives they want 🐝 Manchester has whole communities of talented people with life skills born through overcoming adversity. Think the working class experience, minoritised groups and women. 🐝 Whilst the MTF work looks like events, it starts its work recognising that before any tech role could be considered… we have to allow people their dignity. So their work collecting sanitary products, nappies, IT equipment for refurb and getting into schools, that comes first. Manchester Tech Festival is the only female founded tech festival in the UK and if we wanted to really look at the data on what happens when women lead, we would see this as an example of how women lead and strengthen community. It was also peppered with a few jokes about the sensitivity of incels, personal stories about Amy’s journey and some brutal vulnerability that was deliberately left to settle in the room. So now, the bar is raised. 4 more days of MTF. The challenge to our Manchester tech community is out there and the energy was contagious!
