Dar'shun Kendrick grew up watching both of her parents run small businesses. As a child, she saw firsthand the challenges they faced—not just in building their businesses, but in finding attorneys who truly cared. Her parents needed more than just legal documents; they needed strategic legal partners who understood their vision and were committed to their growth.
Those experiences shaped Dar'shun’s path early on. Determined to change that reality for other business owners like her parents, she went to law school with one mission in mind: to advocate for hardworking founders who deserve clear, compassionate, and comprehensive legal support.
But she didn’t stop there.
Drawing from her personal experiences, Dar'shun built her practice on the belief that legal services should not only protect but also empower founders. She’s made it her life’s work to ensure that entrepreneurs aren’t taken advantage of—financially or emotionally—during critical stages of growth, fundraising, or exit.
Her unique perspective drives a range of founder-first initiatives, programs, and legal solutions tailored to help startups and scaling companies stay protected and thrive.
Dar'shun has also expanded this mission to support buyers and sellers of businesses. She believes that private equity transactions—when done right—are one of the fastest paths to generational wealth, especially in underrepresented communities. Her commitment is to make that pathway more accessible, ethical, and equitable for those who need it most.
At Kairos Capital Legal Advisors, we don’t just provide legal services—we partner with founders, funders, and deal-makers to build legacy, impact, and wealth.
"Everyday, I want to be the type of corporate attorney my parents needed and deserved." - Dar'shun

It’s meant for the Founder who is thinking “I would like to raise capital from investors within a year. What should I know to get me closer to a “yes” from investors?” It is one thing to SAY you want to raise capital from investors--it’s an entirely different feat to actually DO IT. This book guides you to doing it---and getting closer to that YES!
Additionally the book delves into Dar’shun's experiences in helping companies raise private capital, giving best practices and reflections along the way, and her deep motivations in supporting access to capital in private markets.
