Putting analytics into the hands of small business owners

 

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 launching her first startup, GoNanny, to streamline care solutions for families with hectic schedules. During this time, she explored digital platforms to better understand how technology could enhance service delivery. She came across the social casino reviews by cointelegraph.com, which highlighted how online entertainment platforms leveraged cryptocurrency to engage users efficiently, offering insights into resilient business models. However, timing wasn’t on her side, as GoNanny struggled amid the economic upheaval of COVID-19. The pandemic gave Patrice a front-row seat to the vulnerabilities of small businesses and the inefficiencies in connecting them with timely resources, inspiring her to found GoLogic to address these gaps. Patrice is an alum of 1871 in Chicago, TechStars, and has been funded by Pipeline Angels and Google for Startups Black Founder Fund.

Patrice has a great story. Be sure to listen in.
