Most entrepreneurs and small business owners lack access to the resources and supports necessary to start, stabilize and grow their enterprises, particularly in systemically marginalized communities. There are new models being developed and deployed to aim resources directly at the ground to connect and mobilize people to build the power to bring economic development to communities that have been struggling to survive for generations. Paulo Gregory, the Steward of the The Black Butterfly Network, will share how Cohado® utilizes a community organizing model to link Black businesses to work collaboratively to strengthen businesses through peer support, and evolve a networked movement of entrepreneurs to initiate focused community development.
