Aus dem Klappentext

In Originate, Motivate, Innovate: 7 Steps for Building a Billion Dollar Network, a team of accomplished entrepreneurs delivers a startlingly insightful guide to navigating new networks of people that can help you succeed. Whether you’re looking for a raise, want to build a business, create social impact, or become a member of new social networks, the author demonstrates how to overcome intimidation and imposter syndrome to chart a new and exciting path.

You’ll peek inside rooms filled with high-powered CEOs running some of the world’s most well-known brands and discover the mindset shifts, tools, and tactics you need to succeed in the world of venture capital. You’ll learn how to access the capital you need for your new or growing business in a system of finance dominated by―and designed for―white males.

Originate, Motivate, Innovate isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula for success. Instead, the author explains how you can find a framework for investment and funding that works for your company and for a person in your unique circumstances. You’ll focus on creating a one-of-a-kind process, using your authentic story and by prioritizing valuable relationships, and then do everything your own way.

This book acknowledges and highlights the obstacles that women of color face in the world of venture capital and at the intersection of race, gender, and (some-times) sexual orientation. It reveals how one of those women broke those barriers and accessed investment, as well as how you can think differently about funding and join her in her success.

Perfect for entrepreneurs, founders, and other business leaders of color, Originate, Motivate, Innovate will earn a prominent place in the libraries of ambitious managers, executives, directors, and other professionals.
