Our CEO, Yashieka S Anglin, Made the Cover of 2019 Impact Report published by INTERriSE.
Interise’s 2019 Impact Report, An Inclusive Economy Starts Here, shows, undeniably, that small businesses play not only a crucial role in job creation, but also hold the keys to solving one of America’s most intractable problems: economic inequality.
Consistent with Interise’s prior impact reports, this year’s report shows that
- StreetWise ‘MBA’ alumni companies experienced double-digit annual revenue growth rates, with an average annual growth rate of 36%.
- Minority alumni companies operating businesses in low- and moderate-income communities saw the largest average annual growth rate of 77%.
- Yes, reread those last two points!
- Alumni companies created jobs at a higher rate than the private sector (4 times the national rate) with salaries higher than the national average.
- Interestingly, job creation was highest for alumni companies operating in low-income areas, as this segment created jobs at 6.7 times the national rate.
