A community of Black entrepreneurs are shaking up the tech and innovation ecosystem and forming a new hub for digital creators, developers and investors based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Here are the stories of nine Black entrepreneurs reimagining the future of Tulsa through investments in tech, solving problems for consumers through innovation and blazing a trail for the next generation of Black business executives.
"I love how it's a full community effort, from all these different organizations and entrepreneurial support systems," she added."Being a part of that is pretty special -- when you're in a place where there is alignment and mission, and everybody's on the same page and realizes how a thriving Black community can help Tulsa as a whole community thrive as well.
"It's important to have my business in Tulsa because of, of course, the history and the spirit of entrepreneurship that lies here," Washington said. "We're building Comme Homme for the two-thirds of all American men that deal with hair loss, about 50 million men to help them embrace their natural evolution," he said.Kene Onuorah is the co-founder and CEO of Comme Homme.
He said that he, King and FanSub's two other co-founders, Cameron Williams and Michael Lombardi were looking for a"network to help us grow the business," and they found out about the Tulsa startup accelerator program."The caveat was that we would have to move to Tulsa," to participate in the program, Davis said. Once they arrived, he said they began to learn more about the city's history.
"More importantly though, I think what's happening here, particularly around Black and brown founders is incredibly impactful because of everything that happened with Greenwood," she said.
