Our Approach
Real, meaningful change comes from tapping into the true potential of small businesses, communities and people. We believe that we will level the playing field and create change by bringing innovation to where the most potential and possibilities exists.
Equity First
We specialize in serving underestimated founders—women, immigrants, entrepreneurs of color, and small business owners who face systemic barriers to networks, technology, and capital. Everything we build is designed to expand access and economic mobility.
Ecosystem-Driven
Our work recognizes that no single organization can do this alone. We strengthen the connective tissue between government, chambers, anchor partners, accelerators, CDFIs, universities, and service providers. Strong ecosystems produce strong entrepreneurs.
Real-World AI
We focus on practical, applicable AI use cases that help small businesses save time, extend capacity, generate revenue, and compete in a rapidly evolving economy.
National Expertise + Local Roots
With deep partnerships across multiple U.S. regions we bring national insights that are adapted to meet the needs of local communities.
Data-Backed, Human-Centered
Our programs combine rigorous research, real-world insights, and human-centered design. We center trust, accessibility, and clarity at every stage—from curriculum to community partnerships.
Our Values

Every entrepreneur deserves the opportunity to thrive.
Clarity
Technology should be accessible, not overwhelming.
Trust
We build long-term partnerships grounded in transparency.
Impact
Everything we do is designed to move the needle for real people.
