Overview

The Phat Startup (TPS) was an integrated media company that produced premium content for all levels of entrepreneurs. Its founders and team were inspired by and fused The Lean Startup methodology, Hip Hop culture, and entrepreneurial leadership. For 2015 and into 2016, I managed content and community.

Known as a leader and an advocate for millennials and minorities, TPS created the term “boss up” and lived by the concept, bringing the hashtag #bossup to life. It pioneered the incredible event Tech808.

The company dissolved in early 2016.

2015 was an awesome year for a few reasons, and one of those was my opportunity to edit, write and ghost write on The Phat Startup’s content page.

Programs, events, and interviews were full of thought leaders, uplevelers, and vanguards.  I couldn’t help but be inspired.
