Our Partners
“The best thing about the program is access to world-class business thinkers who were able to truly understand our current model and embrace the vision we had, then develop very practical steps that we can engage in to allow our business to grow.”
Beejhy Barhany
Tsion Cafe, 2023 NYPACE entrepreneur
“JPMorgan Chase is extremely proud of the partnership with NYPACE to deliver the Founders Forward Small Business Mentoring Program. NYPACE’s deeply rooted connections with the small business community, combined with the expertise of JPMorgan Chase employee volunteers, provides minority entrepreneurs with top-notch consultative support in areas aimed at growing and sustaining their businesses.”
Tasha Brokenberry

“This program is incredibly rewarding. Across all projects, the entrepreneurs expressed immense gratitude for the tools that advisors delivered. This type of work is routine for many of us in our jobs, but it is amazing to see the impact it can have on these businesses.”
Cole Hattler
Private Equity, NYPACE advisor since 2023
“The project allowed me to increase my pricing by giving me not only the tool but also the confidence. I gained a contract, which I would have bid lower for, but because of the model from the mentors, the profit margin increased.”
Tracy Mingo
Mingo & Sons Lawn & Landscape LLC, 2023 NYPACE entrepreneur
“The best thing about the program is the support you get from NYPACE and your advisor team in a no-judgment zone.”
