Testimonial from the Generation(s) Team:
The Black Wealth Summit has propelled the Generation(s) team to new heights. During the program, we had significant exposure to seasoned investors, competed against top HBCU scholars, and received support from The Black Wealth Summit Team well after competition concluded.
- Exposure to Industry Leaders. During the competition, we had the chance to meet three seasoned investors who posed several thought-provoking questions to team. This challenged our views on the business, which allowed us to refine various aspects of our thesis and paint a clearer path to providing financial solutions to college students.
- Competition vs Top HBCU Scholars. As entrepreneurs, having a network is critical to the business’s success. With the COVID-19 Pandemic hindering our ability to network with other bright scholars, the HBCU BWS Case Competition allowed us to connect with peers across the United States and even open opportunities to collaborate in the future. Not to mention how inspiring the other participant’s pitches were – as the proverb goes, “Iron sharpenth iron…”.
- Post-Competition Support. Even after the competition concluded, Ms. Robinson served as a critical advisor to the business and connected us to various investors and others who were interested in seeing the business reach its fullest potential.
The Generation(s) Team gives our highest recommendation to the Black Wealth Summit and the HBCU Case Competition. It is a launchpad of greatness and can provide the tools necessary to elevate your business to the next level.
