Business Failure

VaShaun was a debt collection specialist. He saw just how much money was flowing through that industry and felt he could easily replicate. Well, $6,000 and a ruined partnership later, he was calling his old company for his job back :-(

Entrepreneurial AHA Moment

VaShaun tells a great AHA story he had whilst on a cruise ship. He loves Fedora’s, knew Apple’s current solution for blind users needed a top-down revamping, and Fedora Outlier LLC was born!

Current Business

Fedora Outlier is in massive startup mode, moving 100mph in a lot of directions. VaShaun has assembled a great team around him, and their mission and passion is pure!
