Today we’d like to introduce you to Antwan Space, Kashan Pirwani, & Zach White.
Hi Antwan, Kashan, & Zach, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My story began way before I had the opportunity to start a business. My name is Antwan Space, and I founded Denada LLC. As a young man, I had the opportunity to play collegiate sports for FSU and Texas A&M and finished at Umass. This was my professional career were all over the place. From a basketball perspective, all the teams I played at didn’t make sense, but from a relationship standpoint, I had built strong relationships with businessmen, alumni, entertainment relationships, and of course, all my brothers that now play in the NBA.
After playing overseas in the same disorganized way I chose to play college basketball, I built even more relationships that would be instrumental to the success of my company.
Breaking into any industry was hard, and even with my background and relationships, I still had to gain experience in the industry. I am grateful to XOXO and their wonderful team, as well as the virgin hotel for allowing me to learn the economic side of the business.
As I grew in my experience, I saw the opportunity for a full concierge service that would allow the normal individual to have the opportunity to experience a top-level night in Dallas dining, nightlife, and the best stays in Dallas.
Relating to my basketball days, I understood what I needed to build. And I am grateful to have the opportunity not only to talk about two of my partners, but these two guys are like family now. The both of them have sacrificed through the hardships of cash flow when building a business, put time into the business, and in their own rights, I would consider each of them a genius.
Zach White, after a horrible football injury in which he was on the fast track to college and a professional football career. Zach truly has a love for the sport, and with the door closing on his playing career decided to place his passions into the business side. With this passion, he has initially went into the business side of sports partner with the likes of Avery Johnson Jr and built out a strong athlete management company. Zach and I shared the same vision, and he brings an arsenal of relationships and experience to the table.
Kashan, or simply marketing genius as we call him in our meetings, was one of the sharpest guys I have met. At 27, Kashan already has already founded many million-dollar businesses. Kashan has the ability and fireside to build out content, understand marketing strategy, and really build out any platform you need. Kashan has made money through digital marketing and direct-to-consumer. In basic terms, he is a really smart guy who can also communicate. Kashan stepped up from launching the site and preparing a whole digital strategy direct to consumer or rolling his sleeves up and helping me get an event done.
I am proud to share a vision with my partners. With our hard work, our vision has come to life, and Denada is fully operational and bringing a better experience customers.
Zach White is the current director of operations for Elevate Global Sports and Entertainment. A multifaceted company working with professional athletes and a list entertainers.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Just like any other business, I have had many obstacles. I believe coming out of basketball it gave me the ability to realize when to “pass the ball, “Or rather how to rely on my team. In business, we call them partners in basketball we called them teammates, but through many rough times, including a delay in the launch because of COVID, my partners have stood by my side. I am grateful to have each of them.
It took a solid team to make this happen.
