My ArundelBiz Podcast Featuring The Inclusive Ventures Program 2.0!
March 11, 2023
Fresh off our announcement of the first cohort of business owners to complete our Inclusive Ventures Program (IVP) in 2023 – notably our first all-women cohort! – we’re pleased to publish our second My ArundelBiz Podcast episode focused on all-things IVP.
We sat down with Barbara Quaye, AAEDC Business Development Director and IVP Manager, and IVP Facilitator Will Holmes to discuss:
-
The origins of IVP – an initiative that aims to help small and minority-owned, woman-owned, and Veteran-owned businesses in Anne Arundel County succeed and grow by providing a robust menu of resources – and how Holmes connected with AAEDC.
-
What the “robust menu of resources” includes, and why they’re so valuable to business owners.
-
How and why IVP has grown since its inception, in January 2021, in terms of attention, funding, and economic impact.
-
Some of the most memorable members of the first four cohorts including previous podcast guests Magothy Payments, Cake Artista, Pirate Adventures on the Chesapeake, and MuralizeIt Interiors.
-
Why, as Will says, “If you’re serious about your growth and serious about making an impact in the county,” you should consider applying to be a member of an upcoming cohort in 2023.
So tune in to learn more about the Inclusive Ventures Program and why you, or someone you know, might want to be a part of it!
