So excited to be a part of the Community Business Accelerator 2025 Cohort! We can't wait to learn and grow alongside these incredible LA-based founders.
?? Introducing the 2025 Community Business Accelerator (CBA) Cohort! ?? In the following months, alongside our partners Wurwand Foundation, we’ll support this group of 22 founders as they work diligently to refine their growth strategies, strengthen their community impact, and elevate their business operations to better serve Los Angeles. These 17 LA-based community-driven companies are working on innovative ventures that all serve our local Los Angeles community in the Food & Beverage, Health & Wellness, Fashion & Apparel spaces, and beyond! Our teams look forward to supporting these founders with resources, education, and community to accelerate sustainable growth and help these companies continue to scale their impact. ???When we uplift the businesses serving our community, we uplift our whole community.
