By Staff Report, posted 3 years ago

Sisters Ritika and Niki Shamdasani, founders of Fayetteville based clothing company Sani, are being recognized for their brand’s cultural breakthroughs as a part of Andreessen Horowitz’s Talent x Opportunity Initiative. 

 

The two are part of a group of 10 entrepreneurs who have built long enduring businesses that incorporate their culture. The Talent x Opportunity Fund and program was announced in 2020 with the goal of giving rising entrepreneurs a chance to get further funding and to provide them with knowledge that leads to them growing their business. 

 

TxO reviews hundreds of startups to discover emerging cultural geniuses and grant them access to a new system of funding, training, and mentorship that helps build durable thriving companies.

 

Ritika shared on her social media, “Niki Shamdasani and I are honored to be in this alongside so many talented founders and mentors. Thank you Kofi Ampadu and Tauri Laws - Phillips for believing in us.” Sani will be a part of TxO’s third cohort for 2022.
