Building and Funding a High Growth Company

Building and Funding a High Growth Company: Context, Culture & Capital Formation in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Beyond
with Dr. Rodney Sampson — Introduced by Jamie Harrison, Former Chair of the Democratic National Committee


What if the path to shared prosperity and multi-generational wealth creation runs straight through history itself?


In this high-impact, sermon-meets-masterclass experience, Dr. Rodney Sampson delivers a strategic walkthrough of America’s capital formation journey—from the era of chattel slavery to today’s AI-powered economy. With precision and vision, he challenges investors, ecosystem builders, and mission-driven leaders to reimagine how we fund high-growth companies through the lens of equity, ownership, and cultural intelligence.


Sampson’s work is grounded in both historical analysis and future-oriented strategy. His doctoral dissertation, available via ProQuest, explores how clergy-led investment education can catalyze wealth creation and capital access for Black Americans in the age of AI.


This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a blueprint for investing in the future.
