Creating Real Impact: The Tea Lab

“The biggest takeaway I got from the Impact Program was that, as an entrepreneur, you’re not alone in what you’re trying to do. 

There are people who will support you, give you resources, help you grow your business and give you the opportunity to succeed.”

Carlos E. Ramos, The Tea Lab

Pathways To Capital

Our small business services come with the added benefit of access to funding, in the form of grants, loans and referrals. Our Impact program has deployed more than $400,000 in grant dollars to graduates to date.

Additionally, we guide qualified entrepreneurs to business-friendly lending programs without the obstacles imposed by traditional banking institutions.
