On the 29th July 2024 we'd raised £80 with 5 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
I am the founder of a pre start up Theresnobox, which I started working on 4 years ago and have continued to face significant challenges as a black entrepreneur in securing funding and investment for my business ventures in the UK. Despite my passion, drive, and innovative ideas, I have been consistently met with scepticism and disbelief from potential investors and funders. My experience is not unique. Many black entrepreneurs in the UK and internationally face similar challenges, often being overlooked or undervalued by the mainstream funding and investment communities. This lack of access to capital and resources has hindered the growth and success of our businesses, limiting our ability to create jobs, generate revenue, and contribute to the economy.
Whether it is our time, expertise, or resources. Black entrepreneurs have historically faced challenges accessing capital, not just from traditional banks, but also venture capital firms. Compared to their counterparts, they often lack generational wealth that can provide seed money for their businesses or family connections that can open certain doors.
However, I am determined to break this cycle of inequality and create a more inclusive and equitable environment for entrepreneurs of the African diaspora. My vision is to develop a blockchain crowdfunding platform specifically designed for our community, providing a secure, transparent, and accessible way for us to raise funds and support each other's businesses.
The diaspora has immensely contributed to Africa's development. The skills and knowledge acquired by experiencing cutting-edge technologies and industries that are hardly found in continent, paired with an understanding of cultural practices, have placed the diaspora in a unique position to develop solutions tailored to Africa’s needs
This platform will utilise blockchain technology to provide a decentralised, trustless, and secure environment for crowdfunding. This will enable entrepreneurs to raise funds from a global community of supporters, without the need for intermediaries or traditional financial institutions.
The funds raised will be used to support a variety of businesses and projects, including tech startups, small businesses, community projects, and social enterprises. In addition to providing access to capital, African diaspora will also offer interactive platform learning, networking opportunities, and educational resources to help entrepreneurs develop their skills and grow their businesses.
The success of the population depends on a transformative journey through the intertwined realms of technology, economic potential and cultural exchange in Africa and its diaspora.
My ultimate goal is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that empowers entrepreneurs of the African diaspora to succeed and thrive, without relying on traditional funding sources. By leveraging the power of blockchain technology and the collective strength of our community, I believe we can create a brighter future for ourselves and future generations.
Help raise funds for THERESNOBOX today and be part of a movement that's redefining fundraising for the African diaspora. Together, we can unlock the potential of our community and create lasting impact across the globe.
THERESNOBOX... Where innovation meets opportunity, powered by blockchain.
