Clinay: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! There is an immense need for underserved black and brown youth to be introduced to non-technical roles in tech, game, and production companies. Many of these youth fall through the cracks when they clearly have an innate talent that is not being recognized by teachers, family members, and others. In fact, they may have numerous opportunities in the tech world — many jobs and careers are being created daily that don’t require a computer science or engineering background.
Manan: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Our goal at Unshackled Ventures is to help teams with immigrant entrepreneurs start businesses and build faster. By providing capital, full immigration support, and a large community of resources and access, our goal is to help day-1 immigrant entrepreneurs pursue their full American dream.
Benjamin: Thanks so much for having me, Spiffy! As a healthcare provider and entrepreneur, I strongly advocate the betterment of quality access to healthcare, nutrition, and education to reduce inequalities and poverty. I believe that once we achieve a world where education is universally accessible, health is taken for granted and illness is the exception, children are spared of malnutrition, and opportunities are for all, we will ensure that no one will be left behind.
