Aspiring entrepreneurs in East Multnomah County face many inequities and barriers in their entrepreneurial journey. We build bridges of connection — creating access to training, support, and resources
Current and future small business owners are confronted with political, socioeconomic, and cultural challenges at every turn. In most cases, their social and economic class, gender, and ethnicity prevent them from accessing needed resources and skilled experts willing to aid them in their entrepreneurial journey. We address economic inequity by closing the gap between those with resources and those in need. Our programs support aspiring and existing entrepreneurs to build healthier businesses that generate financial revenue and provide products, services, and employment for their communities.
