A METHODOLOGY ROOTED IN HOUSTON WHITE’S LIVED EXPERIENCE.

The Mixtape Strategy is the philanthropic arm of Houston White Enterprises, built to celebrate and expand the strengths of rich, vibrant communities like Camdentown, North Minneapolis. Each partnership supports growth, uplifts culture, and strengthens the community’s foundation.

Building on Rich
Cultural Roots

Imagine if Prince had built Paisley Park right here in North Minneapolis, allowing the neighborhood that raised him to benefit from the cultural legacy it helped create. That’s the vision for Camdentown: a place where local culture isn’t just preserved but celebrated, driving opportunity for generations to come.

The Camdentown Development Project seeks to honor and uplift a historically underserved North Minneapolis neighborhood, transforming it into a thriving destination while preserving its heart and the people who give it life. This is a community rooted in culture, resilience, and creativity—traits that make it truly unique.

TRACKS OF IMPACT

  • The Get Down x Dogwood Coffee

    Houston White teamed up with Dan Anderson of Dogwood Coffee in 2015 to launch The Get Down Coffee Co., bringing specialty coffee—and a whole vibe of cultural inclusivity—to North Minneapolis. It’s coffee with purpose, brewing change one cup at a time.

  • Camdentown Flats x US Bank

    U.S. Bank is backing the vision for Camdentown Flats with a $4 million investment through New Markets Tax Credits. This support is building affordable live/work spaces for professionals of color right here in North Minneapolis, fueling a community where creativity and opportunity grow side by side

  • Afropunk x Houston White

    This partnership between AFROPUNK, Target, and The Get Down Coffee Co. highlighted the importance of uplifting Black culture and supporting Black entrepreneurs in the community.

5% of all Houston White Ventures profits go straight back into the heart of Camdentown, North Minneapolis. This isn’t just philanthropy—it’s a promise to fuel growth, opportunity, and resilience.

By reinvesting in local businesses, community spaces, and initiatives, we’re making sure the community that built this culture sees the impact firsthand. This is how we keep the beat alive.
