👑✊🏿❤️3🖤1💚3💛💯🔥💨 Reposted from @motorcityblackcom Via @crainsdetroit … A Black-owned #Detroit software company has closed on $6 million in venture capital funding to help further scale its logistics technology, primarily for the construction sector. . The seed round for #Livegistics Inc., which last year won a $1 million grant through a pitch competition backed by musician #PharrellWilliams, comes amid a greater push to bolster the capital available to minority founders. . "My father and grandfather once owned and operated Michigan's largest minority-owned asphalt company, so construction is in my DNA," #JustinTurk, CEO and co-founder of Livegistics, said in a news release. "My ambition to achieve and restore system integrity to the industry is still fueled by their legacy. Every business deserves to be unstoppable, and by deploying our technology to work in the field, which is mutually exclusive and profitable, businesses and communities are able to see immediate benefits." . The $6 million seed round was led by Refinery Ventures out of Cincinnati and BlackOps Ventures, a Miami-based venture capital firm focused on investments in Black-owned startups. . . #motorcityblack #blackguidetech #blacktech #blacktechmatters #detroitblackbusinesses https://www.instagram.com/p/CcVaCsDMUw9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
