Black Business Woman raises and secures $10,000 in non-traditional business funding and financing to help cut daily operating expenses in less than 90 days.
“The number of Black-owned businesses have increased in the last months, and these business owners are consistently looking for ways to save money, make more money, and surround themselves with a community of support and connections to help their business grow.” -Dr. AJ Austin
Dr. Andrieka J. Austin (Dr. AJ) founded The Resource Pod via Private Messenger on Facebook in May of this year where over 100+ Women of Color are members who share access to business-based programming, non-traditional business funding and means for raising business capital like grants, scholarships, contests, pitch competitions, and other unique sources.
Dr. Austin and her group members {like mentioned below} have collectively secured over $25,000 from through business programs that have partnered with larger traditional financing sources through financial institutions like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Regions Bank, American Express, and Office Depot to help reach their business capital raising goal.
“I’m excited to announce; that thanks to Office Depot Office Max, I’ve been awarded a full-ride, one-year scholarship, which provides a community of resources and support for the challenges of entrepreneurship. Dr. AJ Austin, thanks for sharing this information via our group!”
