(BPRW) Skilldora Launches New Platform to Help Minority Entrepreneurs Secure Investment
(Black PR Wire) Fort Mill, SC – Skilldora, a leading innovator in AI-driven educational technology, is excited to announce the launch of its Investor Readiness Platform. Led by CEO and Co-Founder DeMario McIlwain, this groundbreaking platform is tailored to empower minority-owned businesses by providing education, community support, and investor connections to help them secure funding and drive business growth.
McIlwain’s journey from Army veteran to the driving force behind Skilldora exemplifies innovation, leadership, and relentless determination. His transformative work in AI-powered education has reshaped the industry, and he now brings this forward-thinking approach to the Investor Readiness platform, which leverages AI Avatars, AI Chat Bots, and AI Automation to create a unique, interactive learning experience tailored to each user. This initiative is inspired by and now partnered with Eric Dobson, CEO of Community Equity Partners (CEP). Dobson, a seasoned entrepreneur, angel investor, and venture capitalist, has dedicated his career to guiding technical founders to success.
Together, McIlwain and Dobson recognized a critical gap in the market: many minority entrepreneurs lack understanding and knowledge of investment terms and documents. To address this, they created the Investor Readiness Platform, focusing on the essential steps to becoming investor-ready.
“Our goal with the Investor Readiness Platform is to break down the barriers that minority-owned businesses often encounter when seeking capital,” said DeMario McIlwain. “By providing access to expert guidance, AI-driven resources, and a supportive community, we believe we can help these businesses unlock their full potential and secure the investment they need to thrive.”
Eric Dobson, CEO of Community Equity Partners, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are excited to partner with Skilldora to empower minority business owners on their journey to securing investment. We believe this program will create meaningful change, helping minority entrepreneurs overcome barriers and achieve the growth and success they deserve.
The official launch is set for October 1, 2024, and pre-enrollment is now open for early adopters. To learn more about the Investor Readiness Platform or to sign up for early access, please visit www.getinvestorready.com.
