Transforming Adversity into Opportunity

Like many, Flemings was impacted by economic downturn when she lost her job. Rather than letting it define her, Flemings shifted her creativity and background in product management, project management, and frontend development into building something meaningful. She designed a platform to fill a gap in the creative industry, a marketplace that would empower creatives to connect and collaborate, regardless of their physical location or network.

Flemings bootstrapped Jem from ideation to rollout, focusing on building relationships and creating value for her users. Despite limited resources, her unwavering belief in Jem's potential kept her moving forward. Soon, Flemings' efforts caught the attention of key players in the startup ecosystem.

Securing Investment from Nexcubed, NCInvest, and Bank of America

Flemings' tenacity paid off when she secured significant investment backing from Nexcubed, NCInvest, and Bank of America. These investors recognized Jem's potential to revolutionize the creator economy, and they believed in Flemings' vision to turn it into a thriving marketplace for creative professionals.

Nexcubed, a leader in innovation and startup acceleration, saw the potential in Jem's business model and Flemings' leadership and offered mentorship, resources, and critical funding to scale the platform.

NCInvest, known for supporting diverse entrepreneurs, backed Fleming as part of their commitment to uplifting underrepresented entrepreneurs.

Bank of America, a powerhouse in corporate finance, provided additional funding and resources to take Jem to the next level in recognition of the platform's ability to empower small businesses and creative professionals.
