Rasheed began his entrepreneurial journey at the age of five by selling cupcakes and candy. As a teenager, he operated Classic Man Fancy Ties – a men’s formal tie business where he sold high-quality silk neckties, bow ties and handkerchiefs to his peers and adult professionals.
He attended Morehouse College and the University of Massachusetts Boston, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in just three years. Between college and returning to his entrepreneurial roots, Rasheed spent several years working in the Boston mayor’s office.
