Success stories

My business is clothing; it started as a hobby. I started making simple clothes from nothing until the SEEDS program showed me how to do my business. Now it is not a hobby, but something I can show people and that they like.

Dayiana Cardona

Owner of D'Rosse Jewelry Accessories

For a little over a year, I have been following the Metro Women's Business Center on the recommendation of a friend, but it was not until the middle of this year that I received an email with the invitation to a Business Accelerator course called “Kauffman FastTrac”. At that moment I had no idea what it was, but I decided to take it to see how it went, without any expectations. (...) With their support class after class, we meshed our ideas into something concrete, viable and structured.
