INVESTOR RELATIONS · 2024 — PRESENT
Duke leads Investor Relations at Impact Growth Capital — sourcing, communicating with, and stewarding LPs for funds that put capital behind second-chance, fatherhood, and community-rebuilding theses.
His remit spans athlete and high-net-worth deal flow, faith-community capital introductions, and ongoing reporting cadence design. He treats every LP like a pen-pal: warm, accountable, never overpromised.

HOW WE WORK
Always small batch. Always personally led by Duke. Never a deck of frameworks — a working partnership.
Duke serves as Investor Relations at Impact Growth Capital, helping mission-driven funds raise from athletes, faith communities, and second-chance-aligned LPs. Capital with a story.
Confidential advisory for HR, comms, and exec teams building real second-chance hiring programs. Not a lecture — a working partnership through year one of program rollout.
Coaching for public figures developing memoir, podcast, or platform work. Same arc Duke walked from manuscript to publication. By application only.
Combined engagement: a keynote that sets the room, followed by 90 days of executive working sessions to actually build the thing the keynote promised.
· SECTORS WE GO DEEP IN ·
WHERE THE WORK FITS
Reentry platforms, supervision tech, prison-to-employment pipelines.
Capital sourced from churches, ministries, and HNW faith communities.
Pro athletes deploying career earnings into mission-aligned vehicles.
Workforce, transitional, and second-chance housing strategies.
Memoir, podcast, and platform-build work with public-figure clients.
City and state second-chance hiring and procurement initiatives.
