FEATURED ENTREPRENEUR #1
Jasmine White
Founder of: Jazzy Good Eats
We provide from scratch homestyle southern cooking. We are here for busy families who want a homemade meal and are short on time. We also provide specials for the foodie who likes to try new things.
Greatest Challenge:
Pricing strategies and profitability… I have tried to offer daily specials at a lower price point to attract new customers but I feel I am still missing the mark. I end up loosing money. I need a way to track if my strategy is working.
FEATURED ENTREPRENEUR #2
Donovin Lindsay
Founder of: College Knowledge Foundation
Many students from underserved populations lack access to accurate, comprehensive, and timely information about the college search and application process. Without this knowledge, students often feel overwhelmed, unprepared, or discouraged, which can lead to missed opportunities or costly decisions. College Knowledge Foundation aims to bridge this gap by providing the knowledge, tools, and resources students and their families need to be successful throughout their college journey.
Greatest Challenge:
One of our biggest challenges right now is expanding our reach, particularly in forming direct partnerships with schools. While we’ve had some success partnering with nonprofit organizations that support students, we’ve found it difficult to get in front of school administrators and decision-makers who can bring our programming directly to students within their schools. We’ve reached out via mail, email, and phone, and while we’ve had meaningful conversations, consistent traction with schools has been hard to establish.
