Cultivate is a one-of-a-kind program that empowers young adults from underinvested communities to start and grow their businesses. As the racial wealth gap widens and loneliness grows, it is crucial that the next generation of entrepreneurs have equitable and sustained access to capital, resources, and community. Through a comprehensive and holistic support system, we help young adults achieve economic stability and independence by building entrepreneurial skills, connecting to peer and mentor networks, and providing capital investment.
