Sevetri Wilson
At the age of 22, Wilson achieved success by building a seven-figure business with zero capital following the death of her mother.
She founded the communications and management firm, Solid Ground Innovations, in 2009, and is also behind New Orleans-based tech startupResilia, which she founded in 2016.
Wilson is also the first Black woman in New Orleans to raise a seven-figure round of funding. She recently raised $11 million in capital for her firm, Resilia.
Resilia makes it easier for nonprofits to file for incorporation and tax exemptions, offering streamlined resources for compliance, training, and fundraising.
