Through its sub-brands, Fotopigeon, which sends digital prints to inmates andTelepigeon which lowers phone call rates through VoIP, Pigeonly is on track to be profitable on about $1 million in revenue in its first year following $2 million in seed financing from Silicon Valley investors. Hutson’s Las Vegas-based team has grown from two to twelve. Key to this was getting accepted toNewMe, a Sillicon Valley-based accelerator for underrepresented minorities. It was the only accelerator to accept Hutson, he says.


Think of how many more groundbreaking, revolutionary ideas that have been cast by the wayside because an investor, venture capitalist someone decided to be :mjpls: that day

This. Imagine if they were actually taught this. Imagine it that was cultivated.
Ever so often you hear a judge chastising someone during sentencing for not devoting all of the energy that they devoted to crime, to something legitimate and worthwhile. Frederick did it :obama:

:salute:to that man. The definition of entrepreneurship and self-improvement.

I was also saddened but not surprised by the fact that he got more than 4 years in prison just for selling weed :mjcry:
American drug policy is just something else :mjcry:

At this point, everyone knows the war on drugs is nothing more than a war on black men.

I never said that and stop tagging me. Get off my dikk cac.

You didn't say that? :mjpls:

Your an idiot. Venture capitalist dont invest in ideas. They invest in people. And black people are not the type of people they are interested in.

C'mon. It took less than 2 minutes to quote you.

Black people don't get their ideas funded, right?

Idiot.

"Imagine if n!ggas had a chance to become accounts before being taught what the difference between wet and dry weight is...imagine if these little inner city kids had the same type of schools the rich kids have way out in the sticks ....imagine if n!ggas learned chemisty foreal before learning how to whip 7 1/2 out of 6"
