Magnolia Fund HTX

We’re thrilled to be a member of the Houston East End Chamber of Commerce !

The next chapter in the story of the East End should be written and owned by locals! https://lnkd.in/gmStRKQH

Local Growth Should Benefit Local People In the heart of Houston's East End, a transformative initiative is underway, aiming to redefine community development through collective, local ownership. Magnolia Fund HTX is spearheading the creation of Houston's first community-owned commercial kitchen and food-maker hub, a project designed to foster local entrepreneurship, preserve cultural heritage, and ensure that economic growth benefits the residents it serves.

It's Giving Tuesday and for any investment in our Community Round today, 100% of the value will be credited to the food-maker of your choice! https://lnkd.in/g3vAcdAT

The legacy of our co-founder Marcelo "Ox" Garcia III. He will forever be remembered as someone who put community first. Rest easy Ox. Thank you Sherman Desselle & Fox26 Houston

Who’s in the kitchen? More importantly who’s leading our commercial kitchen to ensure we meet the needs of our food-maker community? Magnolia Fund HTX?is excited to welcome Victoria E. and Robert Lopez to our kitchen leadership team and Fund Advisory Board. Victoria Elizondo is chef and owner of?Cochinita & Co. From food-truck to pop-up to catering, and now running a certified food manufacturing business, Victoria has seen it all. She’s not only an award winning chef (James Beard Award nominated) but also a published author of “Taco-tastic” cookbook. Robert Lopez, formerly of?Kickin' Kombucha?and now full time at Cochinita & Co started his wildly popular fermented tea company that eventually found its way on store shelves at Whole Foods, Central Market/HEB and Randalls to name a few. His experience is now utilized to run the packaged goods line helping Cochinita & Co create “grocery ready” goods for distribution.

Dream big, start small, act now. We can’t think of a better example of this than Jesse Martinez ?His advice, friendship and bias toward action are why we're so excited to welcome to the Magnolia Fund HTX Fund Advisory Board. #CommunityBuilder #ecosystem
