I am the CEO/Co-Founder of a new tech startup called Gokit, which launched at SXSW in March 2011.
Gokit was recently accepted into the New Me tech Accelerator, the first accelerator for minority led start-ups. During the summer of 2011 in Silicon Valley: 8 in-house visiting minority founded start-ups (5 selected 3 community voted) will participate in the program. Gokit is seeking funding to cover expenses not covered by the accelerator for Hajj Flemings. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! Help us make history!
This is my first time ever making a request from my community to purchase or support anything financially. As you know I focus on providing valuable content! If you see value in supporting I want to thank you in advance.
Money Collected will only be spent on the following: Airfare to visit my family multiple times, car rental for the entire program, and Food. (A report documenting all expenses will be made public at the end of the program.)
