“The R.I.S.E program proved to be both timely and valuable for my business. Albeit virtual, we still had incredible participation as a group and developed lasting relationships which increases our social capital. Specifically, what the R.I.S.E. program offered to me and my company was a boost of confidence and a network of support. We have increased our revenue month to month since graduating R.I.S.E.”
