2021 Year in Review: A Message from our CEO
Success is a journey, not an end state.
Looking back at 2021, I am reminded of an old adage: it takes years to be an overnight success. Many of the victories achieved this year by our portfolio of startups were produced by decades of hard work and determination. While we live in an “on-demand” world, it is important to remember that there are humans behind, and at the last mile, of every click. At Nex Cubed, we are humbled to play a role in helping amazing entrepreneurs from across the globe make steady progress on their journey toward overnight success. A special thanks to our government and corporate partners, investor network, advisors and mentors for supporting our effort to ensure that no great solution dies on the vine due to a lack of access to financial and strategic resources. Your support has provided us with the scaffolding necessary to build an accelerator with global reach and impact.
Of course, there is always more that we as a community can do. Even so, as we progress toward a more equitable and sustainable world, it is important to celebrate the victories along the way. I hope reading our 2021 year in review gives you a glimpse into why we are hopeful for the future. With this momentum at our back, we are poised to grow our portfolio and increase our impact in 2022 by launching new accelerator programs, an investment management business, and expanding the reach of our HBCU Founders Initiative. Thank you for joining us on our journey to accelerate solutions to society’s toughest challenges.
Happy New Year!
