Patrice Darby Neely - GoLogic

Patrice Darby Neely, Founder and CEO of GoLogic, a data aggregation and economic development platform helping small businesses accelerate growth and reduce failure, while increasing the capacity and capabilities of the organizations that support them. Patrice spent many years in childcare before starting her first startup, GoNanny, to address the fragmentation of care occurring with the busy schedules of families on the go. Timing wasn’t on her side, unfortunately, as her company fell victim to the whipsaw of the US economy that came with COVID-19. With GoNanny, Patrice had a front-row seat during the height of the pandemic and she saw how vulnerable small businesses are and how inefficient the ecosystem can be in connecting them with timely and impactful resources. And so GoLogic was born. Patrice is an alum of 1871 in Chicago, TechStars, and has been funded by the likes of Pipeline Angels and Google for Startups Black Founder Fund.She has a great story, you’ll want to listen in.In this episode Patrice and Dan discussed:growing up with two parent entrepreneurswhat drew her originally into the childcare industrythe devastating impact of COVID on her first companyhow GoLogic rose from the ashes of 2020the beauty and power of data, even for the small businessOUR SPONSORS FOR THIS EPISODE:The PlugDelivering clear analysis and powerful insights on what's shaping the Black innovation economy.Get your annual subscription to The Plug at tpinsights.comMORE on PATRICE and GOLOGICPatrice:https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrice-darby-neelyhttps://www.gologicsolutions.com/our-founderhttps://www.gologicsolutions.com/pitch2winGoLogic Solutions:https://www.gologicsolutions.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/gologicsolutionshttps://twitter.com/gologic_solveshttps://www.facebook.com/gologicsolutionsFollow Founders Unfound: Like and share - help us grow!PODCAST TRANSCRIPT#blackfounders #blackentrepreneurs #founderstory #underrepresented #underestimated #founderAfricandescent #futureofwork Hosted on Acast.
