David Mullings represents the new wave of entrepreneurs planting their roots in the 305. With the renewed attention on #MiamiTech, the Jamaican-born investor experimented living in Miami back in November 2020 and ultimately moved his business HQ to Brickell in January 2021.
Now he’s planted his boots and is ready to shake things up through his private investment firm, Blue Mahoe Capital. This summer Blue Mahoe aims to launch a $100 million impact fund focused on supporting women, black, indigenous, and other entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities in the U.S and Caribbean.
Mullings is no stranger to Miami. He immigrated to the area in 1996, graduated from the University of Miami (‘03) with an MBA in marketing and international business at age 22; and had lived in the county for 11 years before moving to Orlando in 2007. After graduating from the University of Miami, Mullings worked in marketing and product development at the Jamaica National Building Society and later founded the Keystone Augusta Group, a diversified holdings company. Before launching Blue Mahoe, Mullings joined black-owned hedge fund Left Brain Capital as an Investor Relations Specialist and played a key role in setting up their presence in Miami.
