Small Empires is back! Here’s season two, episode one:

sol says:

i love the idea, but this seems to be a really racist company

Alexis Ohanian says:

We’re back and better than ever. What do you think of *Small Empires Season
2* kicking off in ‪#‎Atlanta‬?!

c3vzn says:

Google/Amazon could just buy them to improve Goggles/Firefly. 

macedaking says:

Black people in tech? Awesome

TheGarvito says:

All of these start ups are done by hipsters. They focus on getting funded
all the time and when they do they cant creat a product/service that is
profitable and lose. They lack true passion and vision. All just dumb
hipsters. 

Magjul says:

Awesome. I’ll spread the word on +Twitter and @facebook 

Jewel Burks says:

So elated that Partpic is featured on the season premiere of #SmallEmpires!
Check out the episode and let me know what you think! Fixing everything
with PartPic in Atlanta – Small Empires S. 2 Ep. 1

Joseph Van Alstyne says:

Wow, fantastic first episode for this season. Exciting to see a woman of
color as a founder. I wish these folks the best!

Liery says:

23:14 Is that scene of racial stereotypes really necessary??

John Marco Oscillada says:

i like the season 1 outro better. but then a very good premiere for s2!

StatusTech says:

this is why i don’t watch t.v anymore… all the good stuff’ the stuff with
culture, creative content, useful information, and awesomesauce, all of
that is on the internet. (most of it is on +The Verge )

Amy Merriweather says:

This is so very inspiring for anyone who has an idea and wants to move on
it. Hope, faith, belief, knowing and trust in your vision are just a few
of the ingredients in ‘the sauce’ that creates success in any endeavor. I
really needed this today, considering I’ve been working on tackling fears!
Kudos to you, +Jewel Burks / +Partpic for your amazing accomplishments.

Michael Nyarko says:

I’m so excited for season 2

Shawnda Dee says:

Good job +Jewel Burks Keep up the great work. #ITSDONE

Jonathan Hill says:

I’m sorry, but how much money does she have?

Sandro Michailidis says:

And all that , thanks to the internet !

Ramon McNally says:

Great story! Inspiring. 

Nick Barrett says:

Great episode!

Manuel Lopez says:

Literally one of the smartest ideas! Thank god people are actually making
new apps not just making popular game knock offs haha 

sha3rawee1 says:

Great idea! If you have enough suppliers in board, success is guaranteed.

Regarding the near final statement at 20:50 ; It’s probably not you, it’s
the far from perfect world we live in. If you give the task to someone
else, give it to a white male. It’s just how it’s and in some cases it’s
the right move to deal with the world as it’s. I hope for you and for
PartPic the best. Thank you, +The Verge for making this video. Keep this
series alive. 

T - Ron says:

The Human Race often holds itself back from greatness/success/progression.

So many great ideas and talent brushed aside by crappy bureaucracy.

Please take time and look at the story of young African American men and
women who have a start-up who are looking to move forward its an amazing
story I am routing for them.

Steven Kim says:

Mr. Wonderful might be interested. #sharktank

c3vzn says:

She kind of looks like an adult Sasha Obama.

Mark Perry says:

Great show and fantastic episode!

Ismail Bahhane says:

pwns hardasses says:

how did you make atlanta look like something other then a crime infested
shithole?

Romulo Vieira says:

A great season start. My favorite show is back.

Zebedee Lawton says:

The Atlanta tech scene is growing and it’s beautiful. We have the following
companies here: (Genuine Auto parts, Home Depot, Coca Cola, Racetrac,
Arby’s, Chic-fil-A, AT&T, and many more) one thing That holds Atlanta back
is the lack of public transportation around the entire perimeter. MARTA is
lackluster

Nthato Moagi says:

I’m looking forward to Season 2! 

Lam Tran says:
