For Black Business Month, we are making a Deeper Bet on founders creating meaningful jobs and expanding access to opportunity.

Today, we are spotlighting Racheal “Dami” Odunewu, founder and CEO of Purpose Connect and a Black Ambition alum.

After losing over $70,000 working with contracted engineers, Dami learned a critical lesson about building a team: hire for the startup journey. Find people who believe in your vision, embrace ambiguity, and are ready to build alongside you.

That same philosophy drives Purpose Connect, a hiring platform connecting employers with skilled, diverse talent while helping remove barriers for international candidates.
