Champion of Social Good | Author | TV Host | Convener | The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation | CEO
Chef Kenyatta Ashford is so talented that he won the Food Network’s Chopped. He’s primarily been working as a caterer for the past seven years, but his success is leading him to pursue his vision for a restaurant that serves food from his roots, combining African and Creole flavors. When I look at investment crowdfunding, I focus on three flavors of impact: local or community-based businesses, social entrepreneurs and diverse founders. I love opportunities to consider investments in one business that represents all three. I think of these as impact trifectas. Obviously, a local restaurant is the epitome of a community-oriented investment. As an African American, he is also a diverse founder. Kenyatta explained his social mission: I want to be able to lift as I climb. It's really important to me to do that for anybody, but in particular underserved communities. One of those is local high school culinary arts programs that I try to support through my four-courses initiative, where we have celebrity chefs of color come to Chattanooga. We put on a four-course meal for people to dine with us and to also just talk about different subject matter and bring awareness to culinary arts and also allow the young people from those programs to come and rub elbows and participate in the event so they can see the options and opportunities that might present themselves that they may not have thought about. With that social mission, he brings the third part of that impact trifecta. Kenyatta shared his request for support for his Wefunder campaign: Restaurants are expensive, and capital is very hard to raise. Any business venture is expensive to begin because you're starting from nothing most times. We have a goal of raising $450,000 as capital to help us open our own brick-and-mortar restaurant. trying to be wise and looking for places to open our brick-and-mortar, but also want to bring attention to what we're doing with our campaign and make people aware that our business is worthy of the investment that we're asking you to put into it. We're more than just a restaurant. We want to be a really integral part of the community and not just reap the benefit of doing business with the community but also to pour back into the community. Pouring back into the community is the thesis for local investing. Having Kenyatta open a restaurant that keeps profits in the community rather than having a national chain open one where profits are pulled out of the local economy is a big difference. In his past successes, Kenyatta has demonstrated his superpower: grit. Read, watch or listen to the full episode here: http://07nov23.s4g.biz.

Focus on High Quality, Locally Sourced Ingredients: First things first, you should focus on trying to buy high quality and locally sourced ingredients as much as possible from farmer’s markets, local distributors and suppliers, farms, and other local resources. Also, as customers become more informed about the environmental effects of factory farming, as well as the benefits of fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, they’re looking to come to restaurants that share their standards. By using locally sourced ingredients, you’ll be able to deliver a delicious, high quality dining experience, and it’s one that your customers can feel good about. That’s an advantage that large pizza chains with inflexible ingredients simply can’t imitate. #business #marketing #raleighnc #success #supportinglocalbusiness #raleigh #carync #wakecounty #inbusiness #entrepreneur #mistake #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness

"DREAM BIG AND START SMALL." Now, this is a cheesy quote, but I love it. 🧀😅 Back in 2016, my Dad and I started making vegan pizzas in his kitchen. From day 1, we both had one clear vision in mind: To build the biggest vegan pizza brand in the WORLD. Together. 🍕🌍 Why? Because we both believe that plant-based food is better for people, planet, and animals. And the more people we can get eating plant-based pizzas the better. 💪 We definitely started with small steps. But we've always been guided by our BIG shared dream. (PS. by the end of this year we’ll be one giant leap closer… 😉) What's your big dream?! #entrepreneurship #familybusiness #challengerbrands
