One of our favorite things? Seeing the entrepreneurs in our community continue to grow long after the program ends.
Recently, B-Smart alum and Pitch & Present finalist Taylor Nickens, founder of Rise & Ritual , hosted a Tea Blending Class at CIC Philadelphia , and of course, we had to stop by and show our support! 🍵
We’re always excited to see the businesses we work with creating new opportunities, building community, and doing what they love.

Last week, VestedIn joined business owners, community leaders, and partners from across Pennsylvania to advocate for continued investment in the programs and resources that help small businesses thrive.
Advocacy Day was a reminder that creating opportunities for entrepreneurs takes collaboration, commitment, and consistent action.
In the words of Jim Burnett, “It’s the daily work and the grind that we put into it.”
Thank you to everyone who showed up and helped champion a stronger future for Pennsylvania’s small business community.
