Interesting that he did donations instead of the traditional startup method of fundraising thru VC :unimpressed:
There are a lot of black tech investors now like Nas, KD, and others
Did he approach anyone in Silicon Valley if his goal was a social media platform?
Donations require no due diligence and force no accountability, having the guidance of VC could have helped him since their money would be at stake and they have the resources to hold him accountable

This...or other alternatives...tariq went about it all wrong.
