BlackBerry

I am mid-move and uncovered some mid-2000s BlackBerry devices through my attempt to declutter. BlackBerry's rapid rise to ubiquity in the business world demonstrates the power of scaled adoption. Just as BlackBerry's early models paved the way for the smartphone revolution despite their limitations, current work to advance capital to underfunded leaders and communities will continue to evolve through learning, testing, and even failing.  

BlackBerry transformed from a cult device to a global phenomenon. Our efforts to redirect capital flows can grow from isolated experiments to industry-wide standards, creating a ripple effect that reshapes the landscape of funding and opportunity.

These relics of tech history remind us that innovation often begins with imperfect solutions.
