CHICAGO, July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dream Exchange, the
first minority-controlled stock exchange in formation, is thrilled
to announce that Dream Exchange's CEO and one of its Directors
participated in a fireside chat about access to capital for
minority entrepreneurs at The Gathering Spot in Atlanta, Georgia on July 15th, 2024.
The Gathering Spot, under the leadership of co-founder and CEO
Ryan Wilson, is a private membership
club that brings together creatives, entrepreneurs, and socially
minded individuals. The club offers a unique space for people to
connect, collaborate, and create, fostering an environment of
innovation and community.
Joe Cecala, the Founder and CEO
of Dream Exchange and Dwain Kyles, a
Director of Dream Exchange and son of Reverend Billy Kyles who was with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when he passed,
emphasized the crucial need for financial reforms to help minority
entrepreneurs access the capital necessary for growth.
Mr. Wilson, the CEO of The Gathering Spot, expressed his
excitement about the event, stating, "We are honored to host
Joe Cecala and Dwain Kyles at The Gathering Spot. Their
insights on financial equity and entrepreneurship align perfectly
with our mission to support and empower our community."
"Speaking at The Gathering Spot allows us to connect directly
with the entrepreneurial community. It's crucial to ensure that
everyone, especially underrepresented groups, have access to the
capital needed to grow their businesses," said Joe Cecala.
Dwain Kyles added,
"Financial reforms are the new frontier in civil rights. By
expanding access to public capital markets, we are continuing the
work of my father and Dr. King in promoting equality and
opportunity for all."
The growing bipartisan support for the Main Street
Growth Act highlights a collective acknowledgment of the need to
prioritize the financial health of America's small businesses,
especially those owned by minority entrepreneurs. The Main Street
Growth Act aims to create a new category of stock exchanges,
known as venture exchanges, which will list and trade the
securities of smaller, early-stage companies. Dream Exchange is at
the forefront of championing this initiative.
Don't miss Dream Exchange's upcoming free
webinar, Breaking Ground: Dream Exchange's Historic
Milestone Accomplishment where we'll explore how,
together, we can turn this vision into reality. The webinar is
scheduled for July 30th at
4PM EST.
