About the Founder
Svetri Wilson began building her first company, Solid Ground Innovations (SGI), to encompass all areas of service that charitable organizations and individuals seeking to do incredible deeds of kindness would need. As demand increased, SGI expanded to expertise in branding, PR, and digital marketing, eventually landing a multimillion-dollar government contract. Within its first few years, at only 22 years old, she had bootstrapped SGI to a 7-figure company. She then went on to eventually transform SGI’s nonprofit service into a technology platform, birthing her second company, Resilia. Resilia was named to Venture Beat’s Top Startups to Watch Out For in 2019. As of 2020, she has raised over $11M for Resilia and is humbly known as the first Black founder in New Orleans to close a 7-figure round of funding.
