Co Founder Company NameThe Institute of Hip Hop Entrepreneurship IHHE.org Dates EmployedMar 2016 – Present Employment Duration1 yr 11 mos LocationGreater Philadelphia Area The Hip-hop industry was built by entrepreneurs who revolutionized the practice of business. The creative economy that they built continues to inspire and impact culture, social justice, and many other industries well beyond their respective communities. No, IHHE is not a training program for America’s next great emcee. It’s a program that uses the best practices of Hip Hop to empower enterprising young people from nontraditional backgrounds with the skills necessary for entrepreneurial success. Pivoting from the traditional paradigm of education, IHHE will provide practical guidance to young and ambitious men and women, equipping them with the tools to take an idea and turn it into a real business enterprise. From inception to completion, students will receive guidance from teachers and experts with real life experience and application in business plan writing, marketing techniques, budget building, pitching and more. IHHE is an awardee of Knight Cities Challenge, an initiative of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The program, forged by Little Giant Creative, aims to level the playing field for ambitious, nontraditional youth — who, due to a variety of barriers, are too often denied access to the knowledge, resources, and networks necessary to take ideas from concept to reality.
