Strengthening California's Business Support Ecosystem
Equipping Business Advisors with Tools to Transform Local Economies
Resources for Entrepreneurship Advising & Coaching Hub (REACH) is a comprehensive resource platform designed to amplify the impact of California's business support professionals. We provide curated tools, frameworks, and guidance to help advisors better serve entrepreneurs in accessing capital and achieving business success.
Our approach is different—we deliver resources that SPEAK:
Principle | Explanation |
|---|---|
Simple | Running a business can be complicated with many theories and complex tools—we focus on simple, but powerful, principles and tools |
Psychological | Successful interventions to assist entrepreneurs focus on psychology: helping them to think in more effective ways |
Empowering | We focus on ways to assist socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals (SEDI populations) |
Aligned | The SCALE network is filled with innovative approaches and helpful resources, we ensure to be aligned with these approaches - providing ample links to SCALE efforts |
Knowledge-based | We work to deploy tools and approaches that have been supported by research—helping to ensure that what we provide will be effective |
