"Some of the greatest business were founded in times of chaos - American entrepreneurship and ingenuity always survives"
We asked, he answered. In this special episode of Ureeka Unscripted we sit down with Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O'Leary to get direct and tackle real-world problems for entrepreneurs around the country.
On this honest and bold episode of Ureeka unscripted we sat down with ALL THREE co founders at once to ask for human answers: “Who are you, What’s Ureeka all about -- and WHY do you care so damn much?”
“You can literally talk to any of us. I dare another founder to do that. You can click that little button and immediately find out if we’re full of shit or not”
This is not your average company founders chat.
Professionalism.
For marginalized folks this word can be HEAVY -- who get's to decide who is professional? Who get's to decide what that is? In this extra spicy episode we are joined by Mercedes Ballard and Kristin Bonds of Heristic, a company that develops inclusive and scalable talent programs that allow high-growth companies to thrive as well as the iconic Jasmine Jacobs of Black Remote She, A community for black queer, trans, and nonbinary womxn and allies interested in working remotely.
Hang on to your wigs ladies and gentlemen, because this episode is sure to snatch them right off.
Ah, venture capital, the elusive golden goose egg for entrepreneurs. But let’s be real. Venture capital is a lot like a private club that you somehow need to know a secret password, handshake and entrance fee to be allowed into. And do you even NEED it? When you’re a woman or person of color (don’t even get us started on occupying both those spaces) getting “in” becomes even more challenging.
Today we are joined by the inimitable Melissa Bradley, Ureeka co-founder and a groundbreaking pioneer for women in venture capital. We’re lifting the veil, so buckle your seatbelts.
Community. The dictionary defines it as “a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.”
But what does that really mean in today’s digital world? And how, truly does that concept intersect with someone’s entrepreneurial journey.
On today’s episode we are joined by Ureeka’s Head of Community, Marcela Shine.
A fierce Colombiana, connection expert, full-time working mom and business genius to dissect where community fits in when you are running a business. Join us and learn what it really means to create and leverage meaningful connections when you are your own boss.
