Houston Entrepreneur Kisha Mays to Raise $150 million in seed money to Empower Women Entrepreneurs

By: GWL Team | Wednesday, 9 August 2023

Kisha Mays, a Houston native and businesswoman, highlighted her remarkable path from a difficult beginning to becoming a beacon of strength for aspirant female business leaders in an exclusive interview. Kisha, who has amassed a sizeable net worth via her companies, is currently on a mission to inspire and aid other women in their business endeavours.

Kisha’s tale is one of tenacity and tenacity. She finally made her way to New York City after being academically dismissed from college and working at a number of different professions. She started out on an unusual road there, first working as a phone operator for a body massage company before moving into the realm of entrepreneurship.

Despite having no prior expertise in event planning, Kisha organised a Women Empowerment Gala in New York City in 2007 as her first move towards empowerment. Despite difficulties and lack of expertise, she was able to win the support of well-known individuals like Vanessa Williams and Dress for Success. While she saw her first event as a failure, it really provided the foundation for development and success in the future.

However, Kisha also had disappointments and setbacks, notably in 2009 when it underwent an aggressive expansion phase. Unfazed by these difficulties, she embraced her courageous nature, finding encouragement in the words of a sponsor who emphasised her capacity to persevere in the face of difficulty.

Kisha moved to Hong Kong in 2012 after seeing there was room for company growth and cooperation there. She founded "Just Fearless," a company that aided businesswomen in their development into the US. She entered the field of venture capital as a result of her business endeavour, investing in flourishing firms. However, Kisha’s ambitions didn't end there; she kept having lofty dreams.

"HERStory Connections," a spectacular $100 million Angel Fund established in 2023 by Kisha Mays, aims to support the expansion and scalability of women-owned enterprises. She also provided financial aid, grants, and startup money to prospective female entrepreneurs as part of her support network. Due of her passion for the issue, Kisha decided to donate a sizeable sum in the hopes that her action will inspire others to assist and empower others.

Kisha has set herself even loftier objectives to accomplish by the end of 2025. She wants to close the wealth divide by raising $150 million in seed money that would only go to women-owned firms. Scaling one million "Fearless Female Entrepreneurs" to produce at least $1 million in yearly income each is another objective. Although ambitious, these aims demonstrate Kisha’s steadfast resolve and conviction that they can be achieved with cooperation.

All aspiring company owners, especially women who confront particular difficulties in the corporate world, should take inspiration from Kisha Mays' path from hardship to empowerment. Her dedication to fostering possibilities and empowering others serves as an example of the influence that people with a bold spirit and a passion for change can have.
