Renaissance Staff at the Annual Small Business Big Impact Gala
For more than 35 years, we’ve been helping people facing systemic barriers to economic mobility achieve financial self-sufficiency through entrepreneurship. We measure our success by the thousands of thriving small businesses we’ve helped launch and grow throughout the Bay Area.
Renaissance engages motivated entrepreneurs wherever their skills and aspirations meet. Many come from communities that lack small business investment, educational resources, and entrepreneurial histories, and face discrimination by race, gender, sexual orientation, economic class, or past incarceration.
We provide the experienced counsel of small business professionals, with comprehensive services from inception to planning, access to capital and resources, and the ongoing assistance required to start and grow a business.
Renaissance is a network that never stops supporting the aspirations and goals of our clients.
We are locally focused, community-driven, and highly personalized. Renaissance has a long history of working in each distinct community we serve, and a compassionate understanding of the needs, skills, challenges, and dreams each individual brings to the table. Our work changes lives by helping people take ownership of their futures.
We believe in the transformational power of entrepreneurship, including innovation, risk-taking, learning through experience, and fostering a mindset of growth.
We aspire to a world where each person reaches their potential from their own unique history and situation, having received the support they need.
We start with the conviction that we can make a positive change. We believe in our ability to transform communities through economic empowerment and by removing institutionalized barriers to opportunity.
We believe in the power of the individual and that we can create more powerful change when everyone is valued and included. We celebrate, enjoy and honor each other, our uniqueness, our differences, and our contributions.
We aspire to lead long-term positive change in our communities, investing in our organization and supporting client businesses to become part of our economic fabric.
We earn the trust of others by fulfilling our obligations. We are committed to excellence in our individual and organizational performance and in the services we deliver.
