I am so grateful for Emerge & Rise! The team welcomed me and provided education and resources via rhe Lotus Program to help me launch my LLC! This is a gem in San Antonio for small business owners! Check them out!
Emerge and Rise has an incredible mission to help the San Antonio start up and entrepreneur community sustain and grow their businesses. Being a San Antonio native, it's great to see an organization center their focus on educating small businesses so that these businesses can thrive and remain an integral part of this strong community.
What a great mission to empower small businesses with the digital and financial literacy they need to thrive!
With so many local, small businesses closing their doors post pandemic and funding opportunities only offered to a select few, San Antonio is missing out on a plethora of fresh ideas. It's incredibly refreshing to know that Lina Rugova, CEO & Founder of Emerge & Rise, is so tied to bringing forth Equity that she offers the majority of her current small business consultations free of charge.
As a Community Activator, myself, I've witnessed first hand how the investment of time and intentional engagement can ignite a fire within someone who was initially disempowered. Lina, is on a mission to set San Antonio ablaze.
I moved to San Antonio in the beginning of 2022 and wanted to restart my business. After searching for some time I stumbled upon Emerge and Rise. I went through their program and am happy to report we are opening up in January 2023 with the help of Emerge and Rise. Their program, guidance, and resources were what we needed.
