Our mission is to empower Miami’s creative, solopreneur, gig, and small business ecosystem to thrive and survive economic instability through business education workshops, innovative tools, and connections to mentors that have overcome similar industry challenges.
We are a small business support organization committed to Miami’s marginalized communities. We exist to make a positive impact and be a resource to creative professionals and the self-employed alike.
