Starting a business that is both successful and sustainable is no small task. It requires a solid idea, building the right connections, managing finances wisely, making countless good decisions along the way, and, often, a bit of luck.
For individuals from underserved communities or minority backgrounds, the obstacles can be even greater.
Few understand this better than Faith Spencer, the president and CEO of IronWorkz, a nonprofit business incubator based in Gary. IronWorkz serves as a vital hub, helping local residents access the tools, networks, and resources they need to kickstart their entrepreneurial journeys.
