The business of creativity is OUR business.

Ideate.

That book of ideas you have is waiting for you.

Whether you’re a photographer who dreams of seeing your work in magazines or working on the next innovative start up, we’re dismantling the idea that “making it” is an anomaly. With our free programming our community will help you vet your ideas and up level your skills so you can optimize for success.

We’re here because we believe in you.

Create.

Get out of your head. Go build the thing.

Of 500 surveyed creatives of color, 70% reported “lack of confidence” as the #2 reason they haven’t launched their companies. Is that you? We know how “no“ feels, so we want to get you to the yes you’re worried about. Let’s get those projects off the ground with tactical and funding support.

The #1 reason was little access to capital. Surprised?

Execute.

Information shouldn’t be exclusive.

But let’s face it, it has been. It’s time to dismantle gatekeeping and level the playing field. For some of our grant recipients, we’ll help build sound process, understand your market value, give you access to business resources, and time with industry experts so you can get to work.

We remove the roadblocks, you speed through.
