Welcome
Simply put - we enjoy building equitable access to entrepreneurship for disadvantaged communities. We prioritize supporting Black people and Latinx in their quest to start, manage, and grow businesses in their neighborhoods. We connect hustlers, creatives, and entrepreneurs with education, mentorship, y dinero.
What We Do, How We Do It

NICHE 1.0
NICHE 1.0 is a 12-month business planning cohort that teaches residents how to take their ideas from concept to reality. We'll pair you with an experienced business mentor from your neighborhood and prepare you to walk towards the path of self-employment.

NICHE 2.0
NICHE 2.0 accelerates existing businesses and develops self-employed individuals into true entrepreneurs. The first cohort of the program will complete the program in June 2024. Applications for Fall 2024 will open soon. Our goal was to provide technical assistance and coaching to 30 existing businesses. However, we surpassed that number by helping over 54 minority-owned businesses.
