The myth says building a company is a deeply lonely pursuit. True for most, I think. But launching and growing Shur has been a very different experience for my team and me. An awesome community – companies, investors, and men and women from around the country – are consistently stepping up to support our vision. Together, we are on a trajectory to create something that has the potential to enhance the financial dreams of millions of professionals navigating student loans and wealth creation. At the top of the list are our friends at Northwestern Mutual. They invested early, inviting Shur to join the NM Black Founders Accelerator®. Together with the amazing team at gener8tor – their support is helping us build something extraordinary. Thanks, Northwestern Mutual: John Schlifske, Abim Kolawole, Moiz Dawoodbhai, Craig Schedler, Grady Crosby, and Antonio Santillo. And gener8tor: Precious P. Drew, Mfoniso Ekong, Destiney D. Mohammed, Maggie Brickerman. Also, look for NM profiles of the amazing Jannae Gammage and Matthew Parker!
