Our Mission
As Ventures staff, we have the honor of working alongside determined, creative, and resilient entrepreneurs every day. We see firsthand how access to business education, coaching, and capital can transform lives—opening doors to financial stability, independence, and community impact.
We believe that everyone deserves the chance to succeed. That is why we’re coming together to raise funds for Ventures during GiveBIG—and we’re asking for your help.
Why Your Gift Matters
Ventures supports small business owners from underrepresented communities, with industry experience for whom traditional business development services are out of reach.
Your gift helps provide:
- Business courses and workshops in English and Spanish
- Free, personalized business coaching
- Access to microloans up to $50,000
- Real-world incubation through our Ventures Marketplace at Pike Place Market
Together, these resources help entrepreneurs leverage their experience to turn ideas into income, build stronger families, and enrich their communities.
