Amass is the medium for that change. We are creating a platform based on three principles: access, community, and knowledge. There will be access to exclusive deals, coupled with some of the lowest minimums available. This allows you to make a higher volume of investments, and get your reps in. Amass accepts both accredited and non-accredited investors. We are also producing videos of in-depth conversations between Daron and the Amass Black Luminaries, experienced investors who are experts in their fields. There will also be a knowledge bank, filled with resources to increase confidence and financial fluency.
We are building a community of like-minded Black investors blazing their own paths to generational wealth.

Our mission is to support women entrepreneurs working to scale their companies. As a member of the Board of Directors for Women@Austin, I will specifically be supporting the BEAM Angel Network which focuses on investing in high potential and exceptionally led companies that happen to be founded by women. Our mission is to provide equitable access to capital for women-founded companies and to create generational wealth for these founders and the investors that support them. Through quantitative and qualitative research, we have confirmed that accessing early-stage capital is the biggest barrier to growth for women founders. We want to change this.

The George Dean Johnson, Jr. College of Business and Economics at the University of South Carolina Upstate is committed to providing its students an excellent business education, along with many experiential learning and professional development opportunities that will prepare them for careers in the global marketplace. To be relevant and effective, I believe it is critical that representatives from business and industry and community leaders provide us with their valuable external input and guidance. As a board member, I will serve as the primary resource for external stakeholder input to the operation of the college.  The board will offer advice to the Dean and the college in curriculum enhancement and development of new initiatives. I also have a special focus on the GreenHouse Business Incubator to support students and the members of the Spartanburg business community.
