There are nonprofits in the region that support mainstream entrepreneurs aspiring toward hi-tech and high-growth ventures. Only CIELO is focused on serving immigrant, minority, and under-resourced entrepreneurs. But we can’t do it alone. Please consider supporting these enterprising, entrepreneurial-minded individuals. Small in resources, but big on local impact, they are the backbone of economic stability in their families, their neighborhoods, and their communities.
