Pharrell Williams has named Black tech entrepreneurs Justin Turk and Andre Davis the grand prize recipients of his Black Ambition initiative. The two will receive $1 million for their company, Livegistics, the company announced in a press release Tuesday.
Turk, 40, said that Black Ambition was important to him not only because of the prize, but also because it gave future Black entrepreneurs a pathway to success.
“Winning this competition is bigger than just the prize money,” Turk said in the release. “When we first entered the tech start-up world as two Black entrepreneurs, we had no idea how to navigate in this space.”
