The nonprofit is dedicated to advancing equity and inclusion in entrepreneurship by connecting small businesses with the resources and community they need to thrive. They focus their efforts on underserved communities: BIPOC, women, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, veterans, entrepreneurs with disabilities, low-income, and formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs.
