PROFIT TALKS: New SBDC Caravan Center for Hispanic Entrepreneurs
Feb 13, 01:12 AM
Mihai Pătru (Executive Director of the Caravanserai Project) and Carolina Rosas-Saavedra (Director of the Small Business Development Center's new CARAVAN CENTER opening Feb. 15 in Palm Springs). Talking about this new partnership between the CARAVANSERAI PROJECT and the SBDC (funded in part by the US Small Business Administration and the State of California). Designed to foster and grow more Hispanic Entrepreneurs and startups within this community.
"Circling the wagons" (as it were) and helping each other along the way (in true "caravan" fashion). Training these startups and "wannabe Entrepreneurs" thru each stage of this journey. And protecting them from making the type of mistakes so many "solo entrepreneurs" make along the way.
Providing a special place for Hispanic entrepreneurs to gather and grow TOGETHER. With education, mentorship and access to financing and capital as well for this very specific group of entrepreneurs. A group not often targeted by other Entrepreneurial Centers. On this week's PROFIT TALKS podcast. Brought to you by your Orange County/Inland Empire Small Business Development Center (OCIE SBDC). Funded in part by the U.S. Small Business Administration and the California Office of the Small Business Advocate.
