Black Tech Queen Talk: How Teasha Cable Is Revolutionizing Business Decisions with CModel
When it comes to breaking barriers in the tech world, few stories are as inspiring and powerful as that of Teasha Cable. With over two decades of experience in high-growth companies, this powerhouse woman has spent her career working at the intersection of business strategy, analytics, and product development.
But it’s her passion for empowering leaders with actionable insights that led them to create something truly groundbreaking—CModel, a comprehensive decision intelligence SaaS (Software as a Service) platform that’s transforming how companies make decisions.
The Problem: Decision-Making Without Data
Across industries, Teasha Cable noticed a frustrating and familiar pattern: playmakers—leaders who had the vision to steer companies toward success—lacked the real-time data they needed to make informed decisions. She saw decision-makers struggling to evaluate growth opportunities, lacking access to up-to-date, accurate, and actionable insights. This problem wasn’t just hurting individual companies, but entire industries, limiting their growth potential and long-term sustainability.
Her solution? A tech-driven platform that could democratize decision-making by providing business leaders with the analytics and insights they need, exactly when they need them. The idea for CModel was born.
The Persistence Behind CModel’s $1M Seed Round
As any entrepreneur knows, raising capital isn’t easy—and Teasha Cable’s journey to securing funding for CModel was no exception. After bootstrapping her company for months, Teasha made the decision that it was time to raise a seed round. But when she first started approaching investors, the rejections came in fast and hard.
Rather than get discouraged or take it personally, Teasha took each rejection as a lesson. She adapted her pitch, learned from the feedback, and tweaked her approach to better align with what investors were looking for. It wasn’t an overnight success, but Teasha’s resilience and determination were key.
Through months of trial and error, she eventually found a lead investor in the Alabama Futures Fund, which set the stage for her to close a $1M seed round—a significant achievement in what many would consider a tough market for fundraising. Yet, even with the lead investor secured, the journey didn’t end there. Teasha’s grind continued for another six months as she worked tirelessly to close the full round.
That persistence, though, wasn’t something new for her. It’s been a defining trait throughout her career—one that’s allowed her to navigate the challenges of building a company, launching a product, and now, scaling a tech venture. Teasha's ability to keep pushing through adversity is a testament to her entrepreneurial spirit and belief in the mission behind CModel.
The Black Tech Queen Vision
As a black woman in tech, Teasha embodies the very essence of what it means to be a Black Tech Queen—breaking down barriers, challenging the status quo, and creating solutions that serve a broader community. Her journey isn’t just about building a successful SaaS platform; it’s about changing the narrative around who gets to make decisions, who has access to critical information, and who leads in the tech space.
Ms. Cable knows firsthand the challenges of navigating industries that have not historically been welcoming to women of color, especially in leadership positions. But rather than focusing on the obstacles, she has channeled her energy into creating something that uplifts and empowers not just her own career, but the careers of countless other women and people of color in tech.
Her work is a testament to the power of community, mentorship, and leveraging tech to drive change. The success of CModel is not just about what it does for businesses; it’s also about what it represents for women of color, showing that with vision, expertise, and the right tools, anything is possible.
