CLIENT SPOTLIGHT
On the verge of losing her business location after 13
years because of the real estate boom in San Francisco,
Emily Kaplan was referred to Main Street Launch
by Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center. Emily was
quickly able to go through the loan process, attain
a loan, and finally secure a lease. Emily said, “The
timing and importance of this loan was critical for me.
Without Main Street Launch I would simply not be in
business”. Emily’s new location came with a bigger
kitchen which allowed her to expand her menu. The
new Emmy’s Spaghetti Shack has been a huge success!
Our mission is to create economic opportunity by empowering
entrepreneurs. Through innovative partnerships we provide small
business owners with the capital, education, and relationships
that allow them to flourish. This collaborative approach helps
our clients create jobs and stimulates economic development in
low-to-moderate income communities.
