DORIAN BOLDEN (Founder, BEYU GROUP) & KEITH DANIEL (RESILIENT VENTURES)
After running a successful coffee shop for 10 years and even expanding into a new location, Beyu Caffe‘s Dorian Bolden decided it was time to expand even further. He decided to raise capital, and even though he was a Duke graduate with a long history of success, he knew that he was seen differently than the white founders raising as well. Tune in to hear Dorian’s journey in ultimately raising capital and his advice who are navigating the same path. Plus, Keith Daniel of Resilient Ventures — one of Beyu’s early investors — shares his perspective and advice for founders.

Naya is the founder of Utopia Spa & Global Wellness, an alumna of the American Underground’s Black Founders Exchange, and a recipient of the Google for Startups Black Founders Fund award.
