  • BEE 196 Investing + Funding Black Businesses for $100, Cheree Warrick, 10K Project
    In 2005, Cheree began her entrepreneurial career in the family business. Her mother was a bookkeeper in Northern Virginia. Cheree prospected for business, prepared financial statements for clients, and reviewed clients' financial options within their businesses. Years later, Cheree decided to strike out on her own and started a business plan writing company. Over an 8 year period, she helped companies raise millions of dollars. The most successful fundraisers already had a network of high net worth individuals who gladly put in $100,000 or more (each) into their startup. They could raise millions within a few weeks of Cheree completing their business plan. Her black clients (most of whom had great ideas but didn't have these relationships) would struggle to receive funding. Cheree knew that there had to be a solution to this massive problem. In 2018, Cheree recognized the solution. Our people would invest small amounts of money into black-owned businesses if they knew those businesses existed. The JOBS Act of 2012 allowed us to come together in order to invest as a community. Cheree's mission is to build the largest, most recognized equity crowdfunding platform that helps black businesses raise $1 billion each year. https://the10kproject.com/media-kit/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • BEE 220 Six-Figure Entrepreneur, Millennial Award-Winning Trademark Attorney, Radiance W. Harris
    "I started my legal career at the world's largest law firm where I counseled and represented Fortune 200 companies on all aspects of trademark law. After working at a big law firm for several years, I transitioned to a smaller reputable intellectual property boutique law firm and did the same kind of work. Although I loved the work that I did and the awesome clients I served, I realized that I was not a fan of the traditional law firm or billable hour model, and neither were my clients. Therefore, I launched my own law practice, Radiance IP Law, to offer big law firm expertise and experience to small and emerging businesses at a fraction of the cost." "I focus my dynamic practice on trademark law. I've been recognized as a leader in the intellectual property law field and the legal community both locally and nationally. Unlike other attorneys, I offer unique flat rate options that allow my clients to get more work for less money than if they were paying me by the hour. Can you believe that my hourly rate used to be as high as $600.00 an hour at one point? I know, it sounds outrageous. That's not the case anymore at Radiance IP Law. I am able to deliver quality Big Law-caliber services to my clients for less money." https://www.radianceiplaw.com/radianceharris Learn more about your ad choices.
