Hustle Starts at Home - The Future of Jamaica & the Caribbean - DAVID MULLINGS | BLUE MAHOE CAPITAL

Peter Saddington's interview with David Mullings of Blue Mahoe Capital highlights the need for early-stage investment in the Caribbean. Mullings shares his journey from coding in Jamaica to founding a VC firm focused on long-term investments in the region. He emphasizes the current lack of seed stage investors and risk capital, preventing innovation. Mullings recounts creating one of the first online platforms for Caribbean music videos, "Real Vibes," pre-YouTube. He recognized the struggles of Caribbean entrepreneurs seeking funding and scaling opportunities. His goal with Blue Mahoe Capital is to bridge this gap and foster a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem by providing initial capital for startups.
