Where are you from?
Niggins straight out of Mississippi.
One more time.
Nick, you know, I'm so Mississippi that I might walk to the mailbox with no shoes on.
And don't lock the door when I leave home.
Ain't nothing wrong.
I'm just Mississippi.
Mississippi with it.
All day.
We got Mississippi in the building.
I love it, man.
You know what I mean?
I always be telling you how fine Mississippi women is a dog.
Yes, you do.
And I've seen it.
You've taken me.
But this is an example of a fine Mississippi black woman.
And successful.
And smart.
And smart.
Can you cook?
You can't.
I don't give a fuck.
You're going to be from Mississippi and you're going to come on here and say you can't
cook.
This was the one time he was most of a shit.
She can't cook, but she can build the app
to find you a bunch of motherfuckers who can.
Oh, that's how you want to do it?
That's how she doing it.
All right, since you're going to do it like that,
then we got to open the black market back up.
Yes, we got to look.
Because we got a black lady in here today.
They've got her own apps and everything.
Let me get my paperwork, because Miss Sheena Allen is amazing.
First of all, she gets major props
just from being from Mississippi.
She has Sheena Allen app.
Yeah, she does.
Graduated from Southern Mississippi.
Golden Eagles.
Come on, man.
I know a little bit about it.
Majored in psychology, film, things of that nature.
Usually you're leaving Walmart and you got a long receipt.
So how did that spark you to create your own business?
So I went to college, Southern Miss.
I actually didn't want to go to college, number one.
I don't blame you.
I want to go to art school.
school. I was...
I don't have time.
Yes, you do. We can build the app and make time.
Exactly.
I really think of the strategy
through that. Hey, I'm just telling you it's possible.
I'm going to work on. I'm going to put on my list
of things to get to.
But yeah, I went to Walmart. I had this super long
receipt. Not like a CVS receipt, but it
was a long receipt. And I was like, I wish it was an app I could
keep up with my money and my receipts.
and I couldn't find it in the app store.
So I was like, figure out how to create an app
to do what I want to do.
And that was the very first app that I did in 2011
while in college.
Wow.
Now, did you have a background in coding
or an app and computer science
or anything like that?
No, she gangsta. Hold on.
Let me tell you what she did.
Hold on.
She made her first app in Microsoft Word, bro.
So you didn't win in my...
I can't make a paper in Microsoft Word.
That's frustration right there, bro.
And you didn't win.
in there and figured out how to make a whole app.
It's only a black woman could.
So I had no coding background.
I double major in the film of psychology,
so I was not technical.
That was the same thing I would, not film,
but communications with a mind of psychology.
I see.
All right.
I just went to school.
What you major in?
Bullshit.
Being in school.
General studies.
Really?
Oh.
Business.
Okay.
business.
Yep.
Yeah, so I was non-technical,
and I was trying to figure out, like,
how do I design the app,
get the flow going, like, write it all out.
And the only thing I can think of
where you can make, like, boxes,
which is how your phone looks,
was like Microsoft Word.
So I went, like, took the text box
that you're supposed to put text in,
and I actually used it to design out,
how I want the screens to look in there.
app. And that's how I got started.
Man.
Smart as hell.
You're smart as hell.
So you said that was your first app.
What was the second one? And what came after?
Break us down.
Yeah. So Sheena Allen Apples was my first company, which I don't run
anymore. I now run my second startup, which is called Capway.
Okay.
But my first company, Shannon Allen Apps, I did the first app, Walmart.
It was meant to keep up your money and your receipts.
second app
was the app
called Words on Picks
which you probably can guess
it was words on pictures
so graduated
in December 2011
and I told my parents
I was like so
I think I want to be a tech entrepreneur
I want to move to Silicon Valley
I want to be a tech entrepreneur
but you know
being from Terry Mississippi
my mom and my dad was like
nah
so my dad mainly was like
so you got two degrees
in student loan debt, his words was,
take your ass and get a nine to five with some steady income.
That's what he told me.
And not the, he didn't necessarily believe in tech,
but, like, that was foreign.
You know, parents be like, do the safe thing, know what you want to do.
And I was like, no, I want to do this tech piece.
And so I went pretty much against, like, my parents' wishes
and decided to just dive deep into tech.
So my third app was an app called Twit Booth,
where I wanted to pretty much create,
like only media for Twitter.
So I don't want to see any tweets
only media. Like only, whatever you tweet, like
pictures or videos. So pretty much I wanted
to make a Twitter version of Instagram.
And, yeah, put that
out and got a nice email from Twitter.
So you know, taking that down.
And not long after the media tab
and the Twitter app came about.
Dirty motherfuckus.
So that was my
experience there. And then
my fourth app was
app called Dublin. So it was, I had a friend who had a, for her graduation picture,
she took a picture where it was two of her in one picture. It was like, Photoshopped it. And I was
like, that is super dope. And I was like, I'm going to create an app that I can do that. And she's like,
that makes no sense. I was like, yo, I'm going to do an app like that. Did it. And I went
from doing like 50 downloads to do like $10,000 in one day. And
I love Mississippi.
I moved to the Valley.
I left Silicon Valley, moved to Austin.
So I built my first company out in Austin.
And yeah, I mean, it was learned a heck of a lot,
a heck of a lot.
And now I'm onto my second startup,
which is Capway, which is a financial technology startup,
also known as Fintech,
where pretty much I run my own bank.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Yeah, yeah, you see why she don't gotta know how to cook?
Nah, that fuck would.
We got our own bank, me.
Because we was doing apps.
Apps, company.
Bank.
Like, you know how much shit I talk?
Yeah, your girl can't cook, yeah.
But you can't make a bank, man.
She got a bank.
She got a whole bank.
Now, what is Capway?
So the original idea of Capway, the name of it actually means a new way of doing capital.
So that's how the name came about.
But it came about because I was going back and forth between, like, California,
and I was an all-style to New York for, like, my first company.
I would always see signs when I walked in
they would say like, you know, no debit or credit.
I mean, debit or credit only, like no cash allowed.
And this was like 2016.
But when I went home to Mississippi, people only carry cash.
And so I was like, one day it's going to happen
where the cashless economy is going to hit Terry
or hit Mississippi.
And like, we're going to be up shit's creek
because like we only know cash.
And I wanted to create an opportunity for people
who were from places like Terry Mississippi,
where when that happened, they had access to
like debit cards or opportunities in the financial sector.
And so that was how the idea actually started.
It ended up growing from there.
So it went from saying, hey, how do we create a bank
or as we call them neobanks?
How do I create that for people who are mainly unbanked, underbanked,
don't have access to financial services?
And it grew to then saying, you know,
how do we talk about money in a way that is relatable?
like not their textbook financial literacy stuff like how do I talk to people like how you understand it I want to talk to my 16 year old nephew and be like look you want to go buy a car that cash car you want is going to cost you know five grand you need more than five grand you got to buy a tag you got I'm talking I wanted to present in a way like it was relatable it was understandable not dumb down I hate that word but it was I just feel like no one ever talked to us in a way that like it makes sense right so
So it went from doing like, so now we have an entire content on to Capway.
So we do this a whole bunch of content.
Of course, we have the banking piece, so we have our debit cards.
And then now we're getting everything from like payments to commerce to,
so it went from me like one Neo Bank to how do we build entire ecosystem
of financial service and products.
I want a bank.
I don't, but I want to know somebody who got one and now I do.
That's what it is.
I want my own bank, too.
I want an app.
I got you.
What do you want?
Let's talk about it.
I want a whole bank with some cryptocurrency.
Okay.
We're going to accept all forms of currency from crypto to EBT.
You can't get Carlos no bank.
This niggas start dressing like the monopoly, man.
That's one of my goals.
So the crypto piece.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Are you invest in crypto now?
Just very small, because I don't trust them people.
Who don't you trust?
The whole industry.
You keep your money in your house, don't you?
No.
Don't never say that.
No, no, no, no, no.
You know, that's how people used to do.
No, not me.
Ain't shit at my house.
I ain't even at my house.
I don't have money.
That's been my whole goal.
That's why I created this.
to get some money.
It is actually
it is one of those
it's super risky though
I know
you'll wake up
broke and naked
and you went to sleep
with clothes
and lost everything
You went to sleep rich
and woke up
broken and naked
Like how
Like somebody actually came
in your house
while you were asleep
I took all your possession
You literally woke up naked
on the floor
So how do you
How do you
You know
Because it's probably a lot of people
watching this, that's now, like, how do I even get started
in doing a bank?
Like, what's the process of getting your own bank?
Like, what are the, like, I know what you got to do
to go get a loan, so to get a whole bank.
Like, is that a different process?
Is it a long process?
You evil, because you knew you was gonna fuck us up with this.
I see how you shouldn't have like,
they didn't know about the bank.
You could have warned me.
So it is.
You want a warrant or something nice?
I don't want you to be in.
You want Capriza?
I love Capriza.
What kind?
What kind do you prefer?
This is fruit punch.
We got a bank of Capri Sons.
That's what we got.
My favorite one.
Have a Capri Sunt while we discussed this.
This is Mississippi all day.
I've been trying to tell these folks.
You know, watermelon.
We're about to upgrade to get the big pouches, though.
Oh.
Does that mean, like, you know, you got, like, an investment,
raising your Series A, your Series B?
Yeah, you know, it's just a flex.
Okay, I understand.
fruits of our labor.
The fruit punch
that shows the fruits of your labor.
Exactly.
So we're going bigger.
Just because it's in the budget.
We're going to go back on tour.
I mean, if y'all need a special guest.
We're going to need a special guest.
We're going to need a special bank.
You are the special guest now.
Teach me how to get a special bank.
If you want to show up and then do our deposit
right there on the spot, that would be
fucking clutch.
Well, there's what, I mean, we can, we can
do that. You know
you should pull, no,
you got cash out?
Exactly. Now you have Capway.
I need it.
Exactly. So
there's some things we are doing in. Let me get your code
when I do it. Because I want my shit to be
like, when I log in, I want my shit to go
straight to VIP status.
I've got you.
But we are doing some things that will be instant. So we
do send and receive money just like you do with some
of the other players. But we're also getting to
like payments. So we're getting to like tipping.
So if you don't have cash, when you go out,
you can instantly tip somebody through Capway.
So that's some things we are working on that would be really instant.
But how do you get to that point, though?
Do you just go in and be like, hey, give me some money I want to bank?
Like, or do you, like, what is the process behind that?
So, well, first off, you've got to be able to write your strategy out.
Exactly what do you want to do.
Banking is a super, it's very highly regulated.
So it's a lot of rules.
Oh, I know.
that you have to follow.
You can't even go get all your money out at once.
Exactly.
It's a super, it's really interesting.
Compliance and banking is very interesting.
There's things that I didn't know before I went into it.
Then now when I look back at banking, I'm just like,
now I understand why it's happening.
Can you give us one?
One example of that?
ACH.
So when someone sends you ACH and takes two or three days,
it's because of how much fraud happens.
So they want to make sure that it's cleared on your side
And the other person's side
So if it was happening instant
The problem with that would be that
If I sent you 300 bucks
And it went through
If it was to go through instantly
Which you tick me, you cannot
I might go out and pull out my 300 bucks
And so even though you got yours
The bank now is on the hook
Because I took out my 300 bucks
So it's a fraud issue
How payments goes
It's like payment rails.
It's...
In the United States, actually, it's the worst for fraud.
So we do a lot of crazy stuff.
Yeah, we got a lot of stealers.
Yeah, we do.
Scammers.
Your entire identity has been fabricated.
Your beloved brother goes missing without a trace.
You discover the depths of your mother's illness,
the way it has echoed and reverberated throughout your life, impacting your very legacy.

Adventure should never come with a pause button.
Remember the movie pass era?
Where you could watch all the movies
you wanted for just $9?
It made zero cents,
and I could not stop thinking about it.
I'm Bridget Todd.
Host of the tech podcast,
there are no girls on the air end.
On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines.
Like the visionary behind a movie pass, black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of movie pass the company that he founded.
His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary.
We dive into how culture connects us.
When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're,
watching Black Panther.
And the challenges of being a black founder.
Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like.
They're not going to describe someone who looks like me
and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.
I created There Are No Girls on the Internet
because the future belongs to all of us.
So listen to There Are No Girls on the Internet on the IHurt Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Don't let biased algorithms or degree screens
or exclusive professional networks or stereotypes.
Don't let anything keep you from discovering the half of the workforce who are stars.
Workers skilled through alternative routes rather than a bachelor's degree.
It's time to tear the paper ceiling and see the stars beyond it.
Find out how you can make stars part of your talent strategy at tear the paper sealing.org.
Brought to you by opportunity at work in the ad council.
The dark web is really interesting.
So people just find ways to steal money.
Right.
So even like your debit cards, which seems so simple.
Like, the card art on your debit card has to go through so many levels of approval.
That's why you've probably never seen, like, some crazy-looking debit card.
There's, like, rules you have to follow of how they have to be, how they look and have they be designed.
So, like, I can't do a design and be like, that's where our debit cards will look like.
If we're going through, like, Visa has to say, yep, that fits what we want to do.
That fits our brand.
That looks right.
Really?
I approve it.
Somebody put us on their debit card.
Yep, they sure did.
I don't know how they got approved, but I mean, more power to them.
So is there a level of an amount of capital that you have to start a bank?
Like, do you have to have a certain amount of money to even get into the thought process of doing that?
Yeah, so usually most vendors that you work with when you're doing, like, what we call neo-banking,
most require at least a minimum of a million dollars.
So which means you have to go and start raising money from outside investors.
They do?
That's what they do.
So you look so and raise it like.
Like your, the kind of the process, you brought your pre-seed round, your seed round, your series A, your series B, all the way up to eventually you either get a choir, somebody buys you, or you go public.
What was your experience like out there in the valley?
The Silicon Valley.
Not a lot of valleys.
Not the one, not the other one.
Not the other one.
The valley.
So I had two different sides of that.
One side was there are not a lot of black people.
people in general, black people.
No, not at all.
Which is pretty highly noted.
There's numerous articles about it.
And I don't think it's going to ever change.
It's just, it is what it is.
But on the other side of that, I learned a lot
because your biggest tech companies are there.
That's where your Facebook, your Google.
I mean, everything probably outside of Amazon and Snapchat
is based in Silicon Valley.
So you learn a lot.
Like their mindset, how they think, how they work,
why I do the things they do.
That was the first time coming from where I came from
that I understood wealth.
So I'm from Terry Mississippi.
My definition of wealth was like
seeing a rapper in a nice car with the gold chain.
I'm just being like, that's what I knew
to be like rich and wealthy.
And then I moved to Silicon Valley
and I realized that people who was worth like a billion dollars
drove like Camry's.
And how they thought about money
was just so different from how I grew up
thinking about money.
So I learned the true definition of wealth and how they go about wealth, which was not how I grew up.
So it was two sides.
You had your side.
It was like no one looked like you, which was honestly a big part of why I wanted to come back to Atlanta and do the company here in Atlanta.
Like I wanted it to be about true building wealth within the black community.
Now, I'm you know, Capway is for anybody.
It's not like we only bank, you know, black or brown or whatever.
We fake anyone.
But my idea of that was
I feel like
power comes with money
and money comes with being able to build a global company
but I still want to do that in a place
with people that look like me
which is why I chose Atlanta
but our black wealth has a long way to go
I mean the average black family
I think our net worth now is about $17,000
$18,000 which is
which is really really
It's pretty bad
It's fucked up but
nigger
Oh, shit.
That shit gives me chills.
17,000.
Yeah.
The whole family?
Yep.
Even the baby.
Yep, the baby, that's who the 17,000 really belonged to.
He'll never see it.
Everybody else negative than that was.
That baby got to wait of the family on the shoulder.
Crazy.
So, like, whether you wanted to be,
if you, you know, if you had to say what you wanted to end up being,
totally. Like, do you want it to be
something that you build and sell to somebody
or do you want it to be something that you
run the gambit for years and years?
No, my goal
is they will go public.
So it'll be something that
my great-great-grandkids will
still have, you know,
I'm not saying that I would always be the CEO or always
no, they're said to be part of it,
you know, the guy CEO of Amazon
that's step down. But he's going to
always, he's a great, great-great-great-
grandkids are going to eat off Amazon.
So that's for me, that's my goal with this company.
Even if I'm not the CEO, 20 years from now,
I've built it, I have enough shares.
I've set myself up with, like, my great, great, great kids
will be able to eat off Capway.
Man.
All right?
And there's no cap in that.
You're talking about Greg, Great, I'm planning for one grandson.
Everybody after that.
It's 17,000.
That's it.
You're looking at some pictures of your granddad and HD.
We got, we're talking, it's generational wealth.
Man, I know, one generation.
See, that's the thing.
You say generational wealth, I got that tattooed on my leg.
We got the generational curses that we got to break,
so you don't get to be generationally wealthy
until you break that curse,
and it'd be on that baby with that 17,000 to grow up there.
I just had a vision.
We're going to be generationally good.
Yeah, because we'd have broke it.
You know what I mean?
You get out here and break them curses,
man that you get a camera financial
financial instability
that just played so many of our
family so to be in a position where
you have a black woman who started
a bank, nigger, that
is amazing. It's not all
I mean a lot of it's not our fault.
I think we do put a lot of pressure
I think on it. I don't think none of it's our fault
to be honest. It's systemic.
Very much so. Very, very much so.
So I think we get a lot of
a lot of people want to put it on us, but it's
It's so deep, like you said.
That goes way past.
Oh, you should get a job.
You should work hard.
You should get a bad education.
To me, that's one of those excuses
that people try to put up on,
especially the black community.
But no, that we're still trying to dig ourselves
out of 400 years.
And it's not easy.
Especially when they're still putting things in place.
Yeah, yeah.
Railroad you.
All the way.
I just get it that you're a very smart lady.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, she's going to get them billions.
Man, all the way.
I'm glad she came here.
Yeah, like, where can people catch up with you
and socialize with you and check in
and catch up on everything you got going on, Ms. Allen?
Well, I'm the special guest on the tour.
Hell yeah.
She's going to just be on, she's going to stick her head out.
Yeah, the money good, yeah.
Y'all keep on this.
All we go, all right, that.
First, really quick, this tour is come to Mississippi, right?
Biloxi.
Okay.
Wait, we have him to Jackson.
We already went to Jackson.
She's talking about the Ghetto Legends tour.
There was a Ghetto Legends tour.
The return of the Ghetto Legends.
Bro, that's so hard.
We might have to make that, like, some tour merch or something.
Nice.
Okay, so why not Jackson again?
Well, the thing was, is, like, when we're routing this tour,
everything ain't, like, all the way back yet.
So we had to, like, pick some spots that was, like, available.
Available.
But everything ain't open.
We can definitely throw Jackson in.
Yeah, he loved Jackson.
I'm Mississippi all day.
Jacktown, he'd do a show.
We didn't talk about this later of how to go to Oxford.
Yeah, all that.
Shit, we could just do a whole Mississippi tour, man.
We go to Grenada and Tulow and.
Brooke Haven and Hattiesburg, Hattiesburg, Vicksburg, Caziosco.
Look at you.
Starkville.
Hollispring.
Okay.
Baseville.
Mississippi.
I'm actually impressed.
Really?
I am.
No, I'm really.
Most people know, like, two cities in Mississippi.
I know the entire, all of it.
I took Mississippi studies, man.
