It's not a hunch, it's a stat: the growth of new #womenowned businesses was driven by #WOC starting small businesses. More small businesses mean more local jobs, more economic growth, and more community.

“I'm from south central. Our business is located

“I'm from south central. Our business is located here, and the people who work here are from here. We're part of the local economy. We're proud of that.”Guadalupe Tlatenchi (Lupe) founder of @gtla_apparel
*
Lupe grew up in South Central LA, and always wanted to be a designer. Her grandmother, a worker in the Los Angeles fashion district, was the one who taught her how to sew. While Lupe was enrolled at @FIDM, she landed a job in a small manufacturing shop that opened her eyes to how many unethical practices and sustainability issues come with traditional textile manufacturing.
*
Thanks to our partnership programs @grid110 and @Pledge.LA, Lupe was able to grow her skills and surround herself with a community that helped advance her business. Now in a 10,000 square foot warehouse, Lupe has developed her own line of apparel while sharing her space with other manufacturing businesses - as well as fellow entrepreneurs in the area. From a sneaker branding business, to a planned studio and co-working space, Lupe continues to uplift her fellow entrepreneurs and her community, all while advancing her business. That’s why GTLA Apparel is today’s #lookwhowefound.

We are so excited to be support @tmc_commcapital's

We are so excited to be support @tmc_commcapital's new Milestone Loan Program. Designed for entrepreneurs with one year of revenue looking to grow their business, this community-based underwriting program will provide selected businesses with a low-interest loan of $5,000. Start following our community partners @kyccla, @solefolks, and @thinkwatts, then check out the #linkinourbio to learn more.
*
Communities of color have been historically under-represented by the traditional banking systems. Practically, that means higher interest rates on loans, or no loans at all, trapping new entrepreneurs in a cycle of poverty. By leveraging our community and partnering with @thinkwatts, @kyccla, and @solefolks, we're excited to work with #TMCCommunityCapital to provide our small businesses the resources they need to grow.
*
Swipe through for a brief rundown of how the #milestoneloan pilot program works, and visit the TMC Community Capital website to apply.

Today’s #lookwhowefound is @saucychickrotisserie

Today’s #lookwhowefound is @saucychickrotisserie. Thanks to the @regardingherfood, founders Rhea and Marcel were able open a brick and mortar location in LA’s hip Third Street neighborhood. By participating in RE: Her’s food program, Marcel and Rhea were able to take their dream of creating delicious Mexican and Indian fusion food to the next level. Not only is their restaurant a melting pot of culinary delicacies from their respective backgrounds, the food and dessert brands they carry are also fellow local entrepreneurs. With one stop shopping, you can support multiple small businesses - and enjoy a delicious fusion taco. That’s why they’re today’s Look Who We Found. *

#EqualPayDay is the day that reminds us how many cents a woman earns for every dollar made by a man. But the stats aren't the same for all women...*
The disparity is different for women of color.

It is only by confronting where we are that can we know how to move forward - to an equal pay day for everyone. #WomensHistoryMonth

"Seeing how people who have been in this space do

"Seeing how people who have been in this space do things was really helpful - it taught us how to save money and gave us a support system."*
- Leslie Jones, Co-Founder of @1010wineandevents
*
Born & raised in Inglewood, CA, Jones and her sister Leeann grew up aware of the importance of supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses run by people of color. They noticed that most food-based businesses in their area were fast casual, and wanted to bring a fully-realized dining experience to their neighborhood. The Jones sisters share a love of wine, so that was where they started.
*
They focused on supporting fellow Black-owned businesses, and source almost all their wines from Black-owned wineries. Jones and her sister participated in the @regardingherfood Academy, which helped them take their restaurant to the next level. By building out their #smallbusiness community, Jones and her sister now have the resources to keep contributing to their #Inglewood neighborhood. That's why they're today's #lookwhowefound!

#Womanownedbusinesses aren't just "side hustles" or "passion projects." They are the main source of income for the majority of their founders - despite a lack of equal investor funding.
*
That's why #FoundLA is here to support #womenfounders and other #underservedentrepreneurs with education, community, and #funding. We'll wait for the investors to catch up. (Stat via @fundera)
