Young entrepreneurs working to bring more African Americans to the Silicon Valley
After the airing of CNN’s “Black in America: The New Promised Land – Silicon Valley,” a new dream was realized for many hopeful black entrepreneurs. Each year there are many new successful Silicon Valley startups, but black-owned tech companies are still not reaching the same potential. Silicon Valley continues to be dominated by mostly young, white male entrepreneurs.
Two ambitious African-American entrepreneurs hope to change this with their business, CorQuests. Nolan Ford and Adenike Sonaike, like many young entrepreneurs, have courageously focused on building their startup from the ground up and are hoping that their company’s services will provide a mechanism to help other entrepreneurs and business-minded people to reach their goals.
“We are passionate in seeing other businesses and entrepreneurs succeed with their corporate goals,” Nolan stated. “We hope that our business services can help them manage and conduct business activities simply and effectively.”
