Could you imagine creating a small event because you saw a need within your community - not knowing that this "small" thing would scale into a platform much bigger and greater than you ever imagined? When there is product + market fit - coupled with the righttiming - it's possible. We're going behind the scenes of Black Women Talk Tech (BWTT) - a collective of Black women tech founders who understand the challenges Black startup owners face. The organization is committed to identifying, supporting, and encouraging Black women to build the next billion-dollar business. BWTT founders Lauren Washington (CEO & Co-founder, KeepUp), Regina Gwynn (CEO & Co-founder, TresseNoire) and Esosa Ighodaro (Cofounder & President, COSIGN) developed the Road To Billionsconference to provide an empowering experience for black women tech entrepreneurs to learn about business growth strategies and connect with investors and other tech founders.

On this episode, Regina, Lauren, and Esosa share their individual #dreamdriving journeys and how BWTT and the annual Roads To Billions conference was created. The trio share tips for other dream drivers looking to nurture and scale a vision and the important keys that are critical to success along the way.
