Need help launching your startup or you're stuck & thinking about your next move? I got you!
Hi, I'm James Oliver, Jr., a seasoned entrepreneur and startup mentor.
With experience as a 3-time founder, Techstars and gener8tor alum, and launching a new venture capital firm, I've navigated the challenges of launching successful startups.
I offer personalized coaching to help you transition from an unfulfilling job to leading your own tech startup.
Let's embark on this transformative journey together!
gener8tor alum
I completed the gener8tor accelerator in 2013 and launched my first startup, WeMontage, which was the world's only website that used software to turn your images into a large collage on removable wallpaper.
I raised over $400K and got WeMontage featured on the TODAY Show three times!
ParentPreneur Foundation founder + Community builder
After George Floyd was murdered, I started a non-profit to help Black parents who are entrepreneurs leave a legacy for their beautiful Black children. I mentored and advised over 100 entrepreneurs helping them get connected to $5 million in capital and resources, including getting thirty of them featured on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square!
I also built a thriving community of 2,500 members and had a strategic partnership with the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center as part of a grant program with the JP Morgan Foundation.
Techstars alum
In 2022, I completed the Techstars Austin accelerator to launch Kabila. a co-founder matching app to eliminate unconscious bias and community of 500+ overlooked founders.
Kabila Ventures Managing Partner
In October 2024, I completed the VC Lab venture accelerator for new fund managers and I'm currently Launching Kabila Ventures to invest in overlooked founder teams.
Founder mental health fund creator
I'm currently launching a non-profit mental health fund to provide free mental therapy for founders in my Kabila ecosystem who want mental therapy, but can't afford it.
