Rodney V. Williams on Creating Solo Funds, Black Wealth, and Building What's Never Been Done
<p>What does it actually take to build wealth as a Black man in a financial system that wasn't designed for you? SoloFunds co-founder and president Rodney V. Williams has a few things to say about that.</p><p>In Episode 4 of Quintessentially Speaking, hosts Eric Keith and Jonathan Wells sit down with Rodney, the man behind the largest Black-owned FinTech company in the country, for one of the most honest conversations about money, entrepreneurship, and Black wealth we've had on this show. </p><p>SoloFunds is built on a simple but revolutionary idea: community finance. People lending to and borrowing from each other, no credit check, no predatory rates, no gatekeeping. Lenders on the platform are earning 30 to 40 percent annually. Borrowers are getting funded at a third of the cost of everything else on the market. And Rodney says he's still in beta.</p>
