Description

Host Carla Harris talks with Jewel Burks Solomon, the founder of Partpic, a startup designed to streamline the purchase of maintenance and repair parts using computer vision. In 2016 Jewel sold her company to Amazon for an undisclosed amount. But as you’ll hear, Jewel’s exit experience was far from a walk in the park. Jewel tells us why she left Silicon Valley to start a company in Atlanta, how she navigated the investing landscape, and what hindsight has taught her. Jewel’s candid explanation of the troubles she faced provide a valuable insight into the less-discussed downsides of the entrepreneur’s journey.You won’t want to miss this one.

On the Access and Opportunity podcast, host Carla Harris, a Vice Chairman at Morgan Stanley, asks the question: How can we connect capital with communities that traditionally have been left behind? One way is by talking to the people who are already doing it. Entrepreneurs, investors, developers and activists join Carla, who taps into her 30 years of experience on Wall Street, to explore why investors are unaware of the above-market returns that exist in investing in multicultural- and women-owned businesses, and how to dispel these misconceptions and exploit this market inefficiency. Together, they show what's possible through the people who are making it possible.
