Now, he is applying his experience behind the camera to Nexo Tech, his hardware company. Its first product, CineTank, is a rugged rolling power case designed for content creators and field crews. It combines a 99.9-watt-hour lithium iron phosphate battery, AC and USB charging capabilities, equipment protection, and built-in LED lighting in one portable system.

Nexo Tech is preparing to launch CineTank on Kickstarter, bringing Crisp's product to prospective backers and the creative professionals it is designed to serve.

His move into hardware offers a perspective on Gen Z entrepreneurship rooted in hands-on experience: identifying a need through his own creative work and building a business around a potential solution. As he completes his senior year at Morehouse, Crisp is balancing his education, an established creative agency and the development of his first hardware product.

Through "Bet on Black," viewers will have an opportunity to learn more about Crisp's ambitions and what he is building as a young Black founder entering the technology industry.
