At the age of 34, James Mitchell embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in the information technology space, using the Langston Hughes Community, Business and Resource Center on Park Heights as his initial office space.
Mitchell said he struggled to get Reasonable Tech Solutions off the ground for five years.“ I started to sit down and try to figure out how to really start a business. I didn’t have mentors or anybody to really give me the insight,” recounts Mitchell. “So I learned by reading books, I learned people and they would give me a little bit of insight, but really not the insight that I needed.”
Despite not having prior business knowledge, resources, funding or mentors, Mitchell exhibited remarkable resilience and an unwavering determination to succeed as an entrepreneur. After nearly 10 years, Mitchell established Innovative Initiatives, a non-profit foundation that focuses on providing free STEM education to youth, adults and seniors through the assistance of grants. The organization aims to inspire, empower and educate Park Heights residents.
