Hello Alice, a platform dedicated to helping small business owners navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship with access to funding and resources, recently announced two initiatives to support creative entrepreneurs: the Creative Business Boost Initiative and Small Business Virtual Forum: Uplifting Creative Entrepreneurs.
Creative Business Boost Initiative: Grants and Business Training
The Creative Business Boost Initiative, a collaborative effort by Hello Alice, the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) and Etsy’s Uplift Fund, is set to provide financial support to 100 creative entrepreneurs across the United States. The selected entrepreneurs will each receive a $5,000 grant and access to a comprehensive Boost Camp coaching program, designed to help them grow and succeed in their ventures.

Small Business Virtual Forum: Uplifting Creative Entrepreneurs
In conjunction with the Creative Business Boost Initiative, Hello Alice is launching a new virtual event series, the Small Business Virtual Forum.
