WHAT WE DO:
Our Mission
Our Mission is to empower entrepreneurship in order to establish a stronger community. Our goals are to inspire, develop, educate, advocate, promote and cultivate the success of economic development in Southwest Louisiana.
The Reality: Building a Business with Limited Resources.
Across the U.S., over 59 million people are forging their own paths as 1099 contractors, solo entrepreneurs, and small business owners. They fuel innovation, uplift communities, and drive local economies. Yet too often, they're left to navigate complex systems without the tools, capital, or connections they need to succeed.
Here's what many face daily:
- Limited access to healthcare, financial services, and startup capital
- Fragmented support networks and generic business advice
- Barriers to growth, visibility, and contract opportunities
- Systemic challenges with no clear roadmap forward
Whether you're starting your first business, growing a side project, or leading a small team with big objectives, we see you. And we're here to help you change the game.
