Funny there are not many DNVBs focused on ethnic cultures (which would, I guess be most appropriate, in apparel maybe) or on minorities — funny — because DNVBs have the power to do just that — missed opportunity!

The only DNVB I can think of that is focused on (usually underrepresented in so many categories) Black Americans — is tristan walker viz. Bevel / W&Co Brands. As far as I can see they are killing it! Big bags from the like of Andreessen Horowitz and distribution from Target.

Im building the first DNVB from #Africa….

I quietly raised nearly a Q mill in the form of grant funding — and recently (10.10/18) a nice sack of $$$ from a US Angel investor (affectionately referred to as Major John or Major (insert last name).

Now Im sufficiently resourced I have more mental space to write more about my perspective and what were building….as one of the mentors from my accelerator Creative Startups stated: A good CEO blogs once a week…(i’m on the way)
