About Kwame Anku
Kwame Anku was personally recruited by Prince to develop the superstar's mobile app, which led to him becoming National Director of Strategic Development for the #YesWeCode initiative and being mentored by Prince—an unusually cultural entry point into venture capital. He was invited multiple times to the Obama White House to advise on youth tech inclusivity and computer education, positioning him as both a capital provider and national policy-adjacent practitioner on equity in innovation.
