This week I’m talking to serial entrepreneur Jean-Pierre Adéchi. He is of Benin, Sengalese, and Congolese heritage. His ventures include catering, film, film festival companies, and most recently Wheeli--a Techstars and venture capital-backed tech startup that, disrupted long-distance travel.
Jean-Pierre speaks often about being a Black founder. Here he expounds on how his background and experiences contributed to how he thinks about his success and failures.
