In this special season of City Entrepreneur we are on a mission to showcase the economic impact minority founders bring to the Virginia Beach business community. We will highlight six founders who have built successful online brands, created thriving businesses, and have contributed to their communities in major ways.
We uplift the voices of those who have grown their businesses, significantly impacting employment and taxes that spur on the growth of Virginia. We bring to light the answer to this question: Why is it crucial that entrepreneurship be supported on a local, national, and even global level? Each episode reveals the baseline truth to the entrepreneurship journey: your vision matters and will impact the future economy and your community.
We are excited to partner with the City of Virginia Beach, City of Virginia Beach Minority Business Council, AGH Advisory Services, and The HIVE- VB Business Resource Center to bring you these inspiring stories.
