  • In this episode, I (@guerrilapreneur) talk with the Program Director of the Bronze Valley Accelerator, Dr. Haley Medved Kendrick and the members of the Summer 2021 cohort. Bronze Valley is a non-profit, early stage venture investment platform that supports high growth, innovation and technology-enabled companies created by diverse, underrepresented and underestimated founders. The organization is also certified as a Community Development Financial Institution (“CDFI”). The mission of Bronze Valley is to create an education-to opportunity-to outcome pipeline for communities that are underrepresented in technology careers and in fields where innovators will create the future.
    The members of the Summer 2021 cohort included the following founders and their companies:
    •Benjamin Vickers, Cofounder & CEO of NewAve. NewAve is a black founded startup that allows users to build relationships and create a social community in real time at their current location. Users will never miss out on meeting new people because they will know someone before they approach them (https://connectwithavenue.com/)
    •Jhana Porter, Founder & CEO of frakktal. frakktal develops thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) from end-of-life tires (ELT), post-consumer/post-industrial plastics and local biomass streams geared toward manufacturing (https://mytaask.com/).
    •Thkisha Sanogo, Founder & CEO of MyTAASK. MyTaask decentralizes planning for the next generation of superheroes. MyTAASK bridges the gap between social media and task management to automate repetitive tasks. MyTAASK builds a community of experts to share curated experiences and time saving life hacks (https://mytaask.com/).
    •Georgiana Wright, Founder & CEO of PaperAI. PaperAI generates customizable and affordable fan fiction for fan communities without an author or publisher, removing the hassle and costs of commissioning fan fiction. PaperAI uses natural language processing models to generate over 140,000 different story combinations to allow anyone to be represented in their favorite stories (https://paperai.io/).
