Success stories
Food businesses thriving with our support
Through our engagement with Oakland Thrive, we strengthened our financial foundation… By leveraging Oakland Thrive's B2B services, we worked with Jessica Smith of JLS Vision Services to organize and refine our financials. With our financials in order, we were able to successfully apply for — and win — this highly competitive grant.

The Culinary Studio
Oakland Thrive has been amazing. Even though I've had my business for over 20 years… they set me up with Oakland Thrive Consultants on numerous occasions that have been just immensely helpful and really helping me to move in the right direction. They provided me with training on Co-pilot, Excel, Word, business strategies, and more.
