Inc. Magazine & Hello Alice Partner to Launch Hispanic Small Business Town Hall Series
First session taking place on Wednesday, September 16 at 2 p.m. EDT will focus on the current funding landscape, funding programs and opportunities for Hispanic small business owners, and cash flow strategies during a downturn
NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Just seven weeks before the presidential election and days after the U.S. Senate gridlocked over extended relief for small businesses, American business magazine Inc. and digital platform Hello Alice are stepping in to help. Together they are launching three Hispanic Small Business Town Halls that will cover topics from getting funded to customer outreach.
"Hispanic entrepreneurs own one of every seven small businesses in the United States, and they need more help now than ever. With this town hall series, we hope to support these small businesses by providing vital information from experts, helping them not only survive but also thrive beyond the pandemic." --Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc.
"The pandemic has presented unparalleled challenges for the small business community, specifically for Hispanic founders, where an alarming two-thirds say they will be out of business in six months if current trends continue," said Carolyn Rodz, CEO and co-founder of Hello Alice. "Hello Alice and Inc. are dedicated to making expert insights, credible resources, and necessary tools accessible for all entrepreneurs."
The first virtual session will take place on Wednesday, September 16 at 2 p.m. ET, and will feature several investors including Eli Velasquez of VentureWell, Juliana Garaizar of Rising Tide Fund, and Lolita Taub of the Community Fund. During the one-hour session, moderated by Carolyn Rodz, co-founder of Hello Alice, they will discuss the current funding landscape, federal rescue programs, and specific opportunities for Hispanic small-business owners. They will also talk about the most effective cash-flow strategies and ways to obtain growth capital during an economic downturn.
The second session, on Friday, September 25 at 2 p.m. ET, will cover creative ideas to find new customers, retain existing customers, pivot a business, and successfully shift to e-commerce. And the third town hall, on Wednesday, September 30, will highlight the topic of leadership in these trying times. Experts including Mark Madrid of the Latino Business Action Network (LBAN) will discuss leading through a crisis, creating and maintaining excellent company culture, mental health and wellness, and managing a remote team.
