From Dream to Business Owner
[Editable] Maria always dreamed of opening her own bakery but didn't know where to start. Through the Small Business Launchpad, she developed a business plan, connected with a mentor, and secured her first commercial space. Today, her bakery employs three people and serves the neighborhood she grew up in. "The foundation didn't just give me tools — they gave me the confidence to believe my dream was possible." — Maria, Small Business Launchpad Graduate
