Black Investors Coalition Blueprint for Generational Wealth and Technological Innovation is more than an investing book—it is a manifesto for a new generation of Black investors, entrepreneurs, and visionaries committed to building dynasties instead of just surviving.
Overview
Starting from a real-life “$14 moment” after a layoff in November 2023, Stock Market Charlie (Charles Edward Mateen-Hassan II) chronicles his journey from poverty to platform, from running a cleaning business to leading a fintech movement designed to outlast its founder. This book blends personal narrative, data on the racial wealth gap, and step-by-step strategy to show how disciplined investing, mindset transformation, and community can turn scarcity into generational wealth.
What the Book Covers
• The origin story of the Black Investors Coalition (BIC), born from necessity and built on the belief that financial literacy is the most powerful weapon against systemic inequality.
• A clear blueprint for transforming from consumer to producer—owning assets, building businesses, and keeping dollars circulating in Black communities long enough to create lasting change.
• The four-book intellectual foundation (mindset, money, and method) that underpins BIC’s work, including Escaping the Residues of Poverty, The Traumas of Being New Money, Frameworks: Owning Your 86,400 Seconds, and An Untold Story of Courage and Ambition.
• The phased plan to evolve BIC from an education platform into a next-generation fintech ecosystem: the BIC+ app (launching July 1, 2026), data-driven tools, and the Innovation Through Collaboration platform set for 2030.

Who This Book Is For
This book is written for Black individuals and families who are ready to break cycles, first-generation wealth builders who feel the pressure and isolation of being “new money,” and community leaders who want to turn financial literacy into a cultural norm. It is equally a guide for beginners taking their first $10–$20 investment step and for serious builders who want to design wealth systems that serve their children, grandchildren, and beyond.

Why It Matters
The Black Investors Coalition Blueprint does not treat the stock market as a casino, but as a tool for claiming a rightful share of American prosperity through education, strategy, and collective action. By tying together mindset shifts, disciplined daily frameworks, transparent investing, and technology built specifically for Black investors, the book invites every reader to move from spectator to co-architect of a fintech dynasty.
