Thinking of Starting a Business? Read This First

What if I told you 75% of venture-backed startups fail? Would you still launch yours?

That stat might sound discouraging, but it’s the truth many founders face. And still, every day, thousands of entrepreneurs decide to take the leap. Why? Because the possibility of building something that matters—something that changes lives, communities, industries—is worth the risk.

It’s easy to romanticize the idea of becoming a founder. There are plenty of stories in the media highlighting the lifestyle of certain successful entrepreneurs, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg. But what we don’t see enough of are the stories of first-time founders—especially those from underestimated communities—figuring it out in real time.

We want to change that.

We want to highlight the journeys of people like Beatriz Acevedo, Tope Awotona, Sara Blakely, founders who didn’t start with a spotlight, but built powerful companies anyway. Because these stories matter. Your story matters.
