Now, with his venture, Ten Figures, Justin is on a mission to redefine the venture capital landscape for BIPOC and women healthcare entrepreneurs. Join us for a reflection of an Arizona natives entrepreneurial journey to exiting his mental health company with a nine figure valuation and how he plans to change the venture capital ecosystem.
