Since 2012, we have supported 700+ entrepreneurs to turn their hustles into livelihoods. We work with any entrepreneur in the Greater New Orleans region with revenue under $150,000, prioritizing entrepreneurs who have been historically denied opportunities and excluded from traditional incubation resources: low-income entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs of color, and New Orleanians at risk of displacement. We work with our entrepreneurs to build business plans, strengthen their revenue streams, create hiring strategies, access workspace and technology, and land the capital they need to to bring their businesses into the next stage of growth.
