About Go Paladin:

In 2016, Terell Sterling launched Go Paladin from his university’s library as a way to connect his community to entrepreneurship. It’s developed a lot since then. We believe that the path forward for many underserved communities is through entrepreneurship and we operate from a place of collaboration and inclusion, and we foster difficult conversations, push through fears, and look for active connection and respect everywhere we can find it. We don’t mind if you prefer something easier—in short, we are developing Paladins. We’re glad you’re here, welcome home. Go Paladin is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization working to increase the number of minority entrepreneurs in the current tech ecosystem. We connect talented individuals to our resource pipeline to push each idea to the next level.
