2:15 VC Interviews

Peter Saddington's interview with Henri Pierre-Jacques of Harlem Capital explores the importance of audacious dreams and the resilience required to pursue them. Pierre-Jacques emphasizes that truly significant goals often seem improbable to others. He attributes his "dream big" mentality to his parents, particularly his father, who instilled in him the belief that seemingly impossible achievements are within reach. Pierre-Jacques recounts a specific instance where his father's advice helped him overcome discouragement during early fundraising efforts. He also highlights the role of his upbringing and parental support as a source of motivation, feeling compelled to achieve ambitious goals due to the opportunities he was afforded. The conversation touches on the importance of a strong support system, something his parents did not have when they came to the U.S. from Haiti.
