How this campaign impacts the community!

This project allows us to provide a greater reach within the community by offering the education and resource support for entrepreneurs, working professionals, veterans, and freelancers. By supporting us you will be directly impacting the economic environment in Memphis, TN, where according to the 2010 US census 25.7% of people in the city live at the poverty line or below.

We have already opened for business and leased out all 15 available offices in less than one month! This was done primarily through our outstanding alliance with Global Innovation Now and a strong social media targeted presence! We have made a couple mistakes along the way! We improved our organization over the last several months, with tighter controls around office space management and resource delivery. And we have two new staff members who have added value and energy to our company, along with $10,000 that we have already raised outside of crowd funding! As a learning organization, we believe we are on the cusp of doing something really BIG with your help!
