Co-Founder, Phirst Market Ventures

About

Tanya T. Morris positions herself as "The Mentor Mogul," blending venture capital investing with hands-on mentoring and coaching that teaches entrepreneurs exactly how to pitch and close deals, rather than just deciding which startups to back. She built her investing approach from decades in nonprofit and community organizing work, founding Mom Your Business as both an entrepreneurship platform and "village" for mompreneurs while leveraging her media background to elevate founders' stories and normalize women of color as CEOs.
