Ryla CEO Highlighted in Black Enterprise Series on Financing

Monday, February 16, 2009
February 16, 2009 – Atlanta – Ryla is featured in the February 2009 issue of Black Enterprise magazine as part of its series on business financing. The feature article highlights Ryla CEO Mark Wilson with national venture capital experts, investment group principals and another start-up CEO’s. Wilson provided input that he drew from his experience in planning and executing the launch of Ryla in 2001.

“Not only did we have a good business plan, we offered to produce professional entry-level positions. We received the funds from a conventional venture capital fund that liked our record of success,” Wilson recounts in the article.

He further recalled the merits of community-oriented venture capital and the importance of retaining control of the company. “It’s very important for us to maintain our status as a minority business enterprise,” Wilson noted.

Ryla has utilized its funding to support its trend-bucking growth that began early in its life cycle but has continued through the economic challenges of 2008 and recession impacts of early 2009.

This is the second time Black Enterprise has featured Ryla in its publication since Ryla’s founding.
