Orlando

Aneshai Smith was originally born in Heilbronn, Germany to military parents. She’s a talented and energetic businesswoman/entrepreneur who has always been business savvy. Growing up, she went from a young girl selling candy to her classmates to heading multimillion-dollar national marketing tours for a diverse number of brands. Aneshai knows what it means to get a customer’s attention in less than 10 seconds. In 2018, she earned her degree in Social Work at the University of Central Florida, a degree that helped kindle her work with small businesses. After graduating, she became the founder and CEO of the Orlando Marketing Tech firm ‘Grand Openings’. Her company helps small businesses reach customers through a digital loyalty program and consumer analytics. Grand Openings recently launched the Smart City initiative ‘G.O. See The City’, an events platform currently partnered with Orange County. Aneshai enjoys her business because of its service to helping businesses connect to people. When she has free time, she likes to travel and spend time with her family and friends. When Aneshai started her technology company she noticed a lack of diversity and funding for minorities. This led her to join her childhood friends, Himrod ‘H DOT’ Ambroise and Tabari Francis who are notable in the music industry, to create ‘Music and Technology Group’, a group aimed at investing in musical artists and underrepresented technology companies. Aneshai is currently the President of MTG Investments.
