Testimonials

RMMFI News 

A building with a "Hooper Junction Ruby Rose" sign featuring a red rose logo welcomes visitors in both English and Spanish. Below, a sign reads "Cafe & Micro-Bakery." The structure is white with blue, red, and black lettering, reminiscent of designs seen statewide.
RMMFI is now proudly serving entrepreneurs statewide in both English and Spanish! While our initial expansion into rural Colorado focused on Trinidad, Sterling, and the San Luis Valley, our English and Spanish programs are now open to individuals from anywhere in the state.
A group of approximately twenty people stand together in a room, posing for a photo. They're diverse in age and appearance, embodying the need for inclusive entrepreneurial support as they smile warmly at the camera. The room is decorated with a tinsel garland and a wall mural of a blue ski mask.
As part of DOLA’s Community Crime Prevention Initiative (CCPI), RMMFI provided educational programming and business grants to formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs in Northeast and Southeast Colorado.
A two-story red brick building with arched windows on the upper floor. The ground level features large windows and doors, one with a sign reading "Emily's Barbershop, Now Open." A large potted plant and sandwich board sign are placed on the sidewalk in front. Nearby, RMMFI is preparing for an office move downtown.
After 7 years, RMMFI is moving to a new office space in downtown Denver! Our team has expanded significantly over the past several years, and we’re excited to be moving into a new home – appropriately named Space to Grow – that will better serve the needs of our staff and our full community.
