How Jarrid Tingle Went From Living on Welfare to Running a $170 Million Black-Owned VC Firm

Imposters

Jarrid Tingle was raised by a single mother and grew up on welfare, living in his grandparents attic for the first 8 years of his life. Through extremely hard work and good fortune, Jarrid was able to go to private schools in far more affluent neighborhoods than his own and eventually went to ivy league colleges and business schools as well. Jarrid committed himself to bettering low-income communities through starting his Black-Owned VC firm, Harlem Capital.
