Meet our speaker:
Harold Hughes is a first-generation American, startup founder, and angel investor who believes startup entrepreneurship is the vehicle that will most greatly impact generational wealth and positive outcomes in communities. After founding his first startup, Bandwagon, he has become a leader in the growing startup community in Greenville, SC, leaning into his superpower of connecting people to networks and resources to help them find success.
Harold Hughes is the founder & CEO of Bandwagon – a venture-backed identity infrastructure company that helps its customers transparently manage, aggregate, and store valuable consumer identity data. A rising star in data, identity, and experience space, Harold has had his ideas validated as a graduate (and now mentor) of the Founder Institute Greenville chapter; graduate of Capital Factory – Austin, one of the inaugural companies in Google for Startups Black Founders Exchange Program, and most recently the inaugural cohort of the IBM Blockchain Accelerator in 2019.
Harold believes startup entrepreneurship is the vehicle that will most greatly impact generational wealth and positive outcomes in communities and is a strong believer in mentorship, making time to speak with youth and his peers about his journey and how he has found success along the way.
