Black Women Vend 2026 Business Collective
Welcome! We’re honored that you’re interested in joining our Business Collective. Since 2022, Black Women Vend has supported street vendors and small businesses across South LA through shared knowledge, collaborative learning, and access to practical business tools. While our name reflects our origins, the Collective is open to all underrepresented founders in South LA, regardless of gender.
In this Collective, we grow through connection. This experience is designed to help you build on the foundation you’ve already created and refine your business into a strong, complete package ready for new opportunities. Through peer exchange, open dialogue, and personalized support, we’ll explore where your business stands today and identify what’s needed to prepare you for private, local, or federal contract work.
This is not a DIY lecture series—it’s a community space where each member contributes, receives individualized guidance, and moves forward with the strength of the Collective beside them.
Program Eligibility: This program is funded by Los Angeles County and all students must live in or operate a business in Los Angeles County.
Please complete the information below so we can better understand your current business readiness and how we can best support your growth within the Collective.
*This application takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
