It matters when someone like @Nas says this publicly because a lot of us have been living it quietly for decades. I saw the gap early. Growing up in the Bronx, I had one of the few computers around. In my first tech jobs, almost no one looked like me. When I learned how venture capital actually works, it clicked. Founders from where I’m from rarely get funded and almost never get the chance to fund others. That’s not random. That’s structural. Years ago, I became an angel investor in the .hiphop top-level domain because I saw what was coming. Culture is infrastructure. Hip hop and tech were always going to converge, and ownership would matter. I didn’t just invest. I helped bring other investors in. Since then, I’ve stayed in the work: • 10+ years running a nonprofit • 1,500+ kids helped into tech • 20+ founders supported raising $20M+ • Raising an 8-figure fund • 5 years full-time building an AI and crypto company focused on asset ownership This isn’t theory. It’s execution.
