Grits company information, Employees & Contact Information

GRITS is a venture studio and founder-led community empowering entrepreneurs at every stage—from the first idea to sustainable scale. The name GRITS stands for “Girls Raised In The South,” a tribute to our co-founders’ Southern roots and resilient journeys. While GRITS was born from the lived experiences of two women founders from the South, our mission is universal: to support and scale the next generation of entrepreneurs, no matter where you’re from or who you are. We don’t just build community—we build companies. As a venture studio, GRITS creates and launches original products, platforms, and content that help founders navigate entrepreneurship, particularly those with limited access to capital, networks, or legacy advantages. Our ecosystem includes coaching, cohorts, media, and events, including our flagship productions: 🎙️ Rich Lessons Podcast – candid and rich conversations about business, tech, finances, and life with entrepreneurs, investors, and culture-shapers 📰 The Inside Track – a weekly newsletter where business and culture intersect GRITS was founded by Sheena Allen and Sevetri Wilson—two women from the South who have collectively raised over $55 million, built multiple high-growth companies, and understand what it means to build without a blueprint.
