Testimonials

Before RMMFI, I was disconnected, discouraged, and overwhelmed, but RMMFI helped me look at the opportunity of entrepreneurship in a whole new way. They helped me see the possibility instead of the struggle.
Briana Butler
Briana ButlerOwner of Bria’s Kitchen
From the very beginning, the RMMFI staff and business mentors connected me with people and opportunities in the community to drive my business forward. The program set me on a solid foundation for growth, and I have watched my company transform from an expensive hobby into a self-sustaining business.

To this day, the whole RMMFI team has continued to give me inspiration, provide needed and ongoing support for business development, and the network needed to help me advance my career. They listen and find every way to support entrepreneurs.
