This event is the culmination
of multiple partners coming together to support small businesses
And it's everything we wanted from the city of Seattle,
from Amazon, and from the Small Business Administration.
So it just shows the power of what a partnership can be.
Did it all online.
So it's good to see everyone face to face for once to see their product.
These are all people we all have similar goals, aspirations.
I'm so thankful for business impact, Northwest and Amazon
putting this all together for us.
I'd recommend
this program to any other small business, whether they're just starting out.
I think it could be super helpful for that.
Or if you're like me,
where you've been in business and it's time to kind of take a step back
and you know, really work on your strategy going forward.
I joined the program to get some assistance in in the digital world.
There's a lot that takes place in that world to make it happen.
It's a lot of information that is packed into so many weeks.
But if you're truly an entrepreneur that wants to see your business succeed,
it's it's something that you definitely want to tap into.
I am a black owned business which have historically
been disenfranchized and uninvested in and redlined
and not funded by mainstream funders and banks.
It takes all of us together for small businesses not just a person
of color, small business, but just a small business in general.
To be successful, it takes investment.
So I feel like this is really special for Seattle.
We're still new and we're still small.
We still need support. It's rewarding.
The hard work turns into something.
A big thank you to the city of Seattle.
Amazon and the Small Business Administration
for making this event possible.
Without them, we wouldn't have been able to pull this all off.
So we're really appreciative of that
and the future partnerships are around this event and and beyond.
