THAT’S A WRAP! The WACIF Ascend Retail Business Accelerator has officially come to an end! Last night, we celebrated the end of an incredible six-week journey with a beautiful graduation reception…with good food and drinks to boot. As if the experience wasn’t rewarding enough, WACIF surprised us with a $15K grant to be shared among the 15 businesses in the inaugural retail cohort. This program has been a game-changer, providing invaluable resources, connections and insights to help grow and scale our brands. We are leaving with not just tools for success but also a community of inspiring entrepreneurs who will continue to support and uplift each other. Thank you, Washington Area Community Investment Fund, Inc. (Wacif), Seedspot and Walmart, for believing in small businesses and investing in our future. #StoryCandlesAndGoods #WACIFAscend #SmallBusinessGrowth #DCentrepreneurs #CandlesCultureCommunity #DCBusiness #candlemakersofcolor #dmvsmallbusiness
