Antoine Tillmon
Founder & CEO, 223 MEDIA LLC
Antoine Tillmon is a Washington, D.C. native and accomplished entrepreneur, best known as the founder and CEO of 223 MEDIA LLC, a rising force in Urban Pop-Culture media and entertainment.
Antoine’s business instincts were evident early on. While still in school, he spent summers working at a local minority-owned bank, gaining firsthand experience in finance and operations. This early exposure laid the groundwork for a career built on hustle, vision, and adaptability.
In college, Antoine launched his first venture—an entertainment and media company—where he quickly made a name for himself by curating standout events that ranged from exclusive nightlife experiences to intimate concerts featuring both local and nationally recognized artists. He also organized high-end networking events that blended business and culture, turning connections into capital.
Though early success came with its challenges, including a few hard-earned lessons, Antoine recalibrated. He took on a full-time role as a loan originator at his brother’s mortgage firm, deepening his financial expertise while funding future business moves.
Over the years, Antoine explored multiple ventures, learning from both wins and missteps. With a sharpened focus and a broader perspective, he ultimately doubled down on 223 MEDIA. Today, the company is recognized for its authentic voice in Urban Pop-Culture and its impact across media, events, and branding.
Antoine now serves not only as an entrepreneur but also as a mentor, inspiring others to chase their goals with clarity and persistence. Through 223 MEDIA, he continues to build platforms that elevate voices, connect communities, and turn bold ideas into reality.
