Co-Founders Of Missouri’s First Black-Owned Brewery Are Looking To Revitalize Kansas City By SAMANTHA DORISCA - AFROTECH The founders of Vine Street Brewing Company are looking to revitalize Kansas City, MO. In June 2023, the business had its grand opening in a 4,800-square-foot facility, KCUR-FM reports. It is now said to be Missouri’s first Black-owned brewery thanks to the vision first conceived by co-founder Kemet Coleman. Coleman had previously worked at the Boulevard Brewing Company in 2013 as a guest representative. At that point, he had little understanding of the various types of beer. “I tried maybe a Boulevard Wheat or something,” Coleman told KCUR-FM. “I really didn’t know the difference between any of the styles, or what was possible with beer.” Ultimately, his curiosity surrounding the historical significance of beer, which he traced back to the Black community, pushed him to start a business in the sector. “When I first discovered that beer was an African invention, that really blew my mind,” Coleman explained to KCUR-FM. “The ancient Egyptians were an evolution of that. It goes tens of thousands of years back in time. African women were essentially the first brewers.” Now, Vine Street Brewing exists to honor the cultural heritage of beer and Kansas City. Coleman is joined by co-founders Elliott Ivory and Woodie Bonds Jr., who initially had hesitations about brewing beer. “This was not the plan. I used to tell people that I would never brew beer. That wasn’t my thing,” Bonds said, via the company’s website. The trio is not only looking to disrupt the industry, but they hope the business will begin revitalizing Kansas City’s historic jazz district. #StartupToScaleUp #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #Changemakers #LearningFromTheBest #entrepreneurship #BusinessOwners #diverseentrepreneurs #diversityandinclusion #Entrepreneurs #disabled #disabledentrepreneur #inspire #mindset #business #NYAE2023 #neurodiversity #longtermhealthconditions #businessprogram #creativity #Dyslexia #Dyspraxia #education #Dyscalculia #Diversecreative #TDC #ADHD #training #learning #disabilityawarness

Sometimes I feel like Odysseus on his 20 year Odyssey, full of hardships and challenges, but all part of the hero’s journey. I try to be Stoic and take everything in stride. So, needless to say it’s extremely difficult to write this, but I feel the need to for my mental health. While Trident Coffee Roasters is growing and making a difference in our community, raising capital has been like fighting a giant cyclops (for those that get the Odyssey reference). We are distributed nationwide, have our third taproom opening in Pacific Beach next week, and have a new product line set to explode for DTC. In the last several months, I have spoken to more investors than I can count, and been ignored by just as many. If you or anyone you know is serious about investing, I would love to meet them. We are over half way through our raise and ready to wrap it up to get back to crafting America’s Finest Cold Brew. High level achievements for Trident Coffee Roasters: - Cold Brew Category growing at 26% CAGR - Top 5 Cold Brew at Sprouts - 40% Revenue Growth for our taprooms (3rd location opening in March 2024) - We will be profitable in 2024 - Highest rated coffee shops in San Diego - Over $5M of revenue generated since 2020 - Multiple successful entrepreneurs and professional athletes on our cap table Send me a note if you are ready to ride this wave and help us make the best cold brew coffee brand out there. #entrepreneurship #capitalraising

This image dates back to around 2009, though the exact year eludes me. Nevertheless, the events of that day remain vivid in my memory. We experienced a pivotal shift in our motivation to move forward with SUNNAMUSK and it unfolded at an event in Yorkshire. Over the course of two days, myself and Kazi Abidur Rahman managed to sell nearly £500 worth of products. As a well-deserved reward, we indulged in some delicious kebabs to celebrate this achievement on our way back to London, Alhamdulillah. On that day, it dawned on us that our business should not be treated lightly or as a mere accident. Lean forward and take a closer look at our display—can you spot how many items we had showcased? As we progressed, we learned to streamline and focus exclusively on fragrance-related products. This valuable lesson was drawn from observing how businesses operate in the West. Here, the key is to concentrate on one product or category and wholeheartedly pursue its success. #BusinessGrowth #Focus #EntrepreneurshipLessons

It’s that time of year. There’s just something about Spring. -Fire pits. -Wineries. -Lake swims. -Night walks. -Outdoor cafes. -Coffee on the deck. -Carnivals and festivals. -Early morning bird songs. The older I get. The faster time seems to move. I’ve been a goal chaser my whole life. But I’ve also been a moment misser. Not this year. I hope you find your fire pits this Spring. #presence #founderlife #entrepreneurship

Here below the interview of NB Aurora’s Co-founder and Senior Partner Patrizia Micucci with Corriere della Sera which appeared in this week's L'Economia insert.   In the article she says that in Italy there are many SMEs that are world leaders in their niche markets, exporting almost all their production, led by great entrepreneurs who need growth capital investments. Those who invest in these companies are offered great business opportunities and can contribute to strengthening the backbone of the Italian economy. However, new ideas and initiatives are needed to enhance the profile and appeal of the artisanal and technical know-how that represents one of the most precious legacies of Made in Italy and today is at risk. This includes - why not? - television shows such as Masterchef.
