“Our mission is to launch successful entrepreneurs by unleashing innovation, creativity and passion.”

CIELO envisions a day when all committed and passionate individuals who want to start their own business, have the education, resources, and mentorship to fulfill their entrepreneurial dreams. 

What we do
We are a grassroots organization that empowers hardworking Orange County residents to pursue economic self-sufficiency through entrepreneurship. We set clients on this path by equipping them with the entrepreneurial mindset, along with the passion, resourcefulness, and hard work that go into building a business.

Who we serve
Each year, we reach 1,000 primarily low-income people, many of whomich are women, immigrants and BIPOC individuals. We strategically invest in local ventures that will bring innovation and financial growth to our community, helping to further develop Orange County as an economic engine for Southern California.
