Having an impact
We are on a mission to amplify the voices of disenfranchised members of underrepresented communities.
Arts initiative
We empower storytellers.
Through our Arts initiative, we work to amplify the voices of disenfranchised storytellers from underrepresented communities. We partner with organizations in the entertainment industry that mentor up-and-coming writers, producers, directors. Our firm provides free or discounted entity formation services, and our lawyers counsel participants on the ins and outs of forming corporations and LLCs.
Women entrepreneurs
Our goal is to help women build more and build better.
New companies are fueled by ideas, passion, and hard work. Increasingly, those companies are created by women taking charge in their professions; women who are no longer willing to follow or content with the status quo. When women lead, they advance possibilities and cultural dynamics not just for themselves and their employees, but for all.
First-time entrepreneurs
We formed hundreds of corporations for first time entrepreneurs — for free.
We waived our legal fees for hundreds of first time entrepreneurs. Read about us in the Los Angeles Business Journal.
