Entrepreneurship Advantage is a Los Angeles-based collaborative that is passionate about helping entrepreneurs thrive.
This meetup will focus on efforts to address different barriers to access for entrepreneurs.
First, Chris Horton explains the new Inclusivity Project, an effort to address institutional and systemic barriers to Black entrepreneurship by providing access to capital and mentorship to entrepreneurs with an emphasis on supporting the Black business economy. Chris brings the values of diversity and empowerment to his service as Lending Manager for the Northern California SBDC Finance Center and as the leader of the Inclusivity Project.
Second, we’ll learn how SCORE – Los Angeles helped business owners through the unprecedented challenges from the pandemic from Laura Soloff-Geller, Chapter Chair of Score Los Angeles. Laura was President of a private college serving approximately 2500 students and former Director of HR at Sony Pictures Entertainment, among other experiences.
