What others are saying

Traditional banks were not an option for me as they only looked at numbers on paper, however, WEV took the time to break things down and look at my finances on a personal level as well as get to know more about my business.

Who would’ve thought a $15,000 loan from WEV would result in a company with 8 employees that’s helped raise over $750,000 for local schools and non-profits?

Open
👉🏼👉🏼 When asked about her experience with WEV’s Thrive Advisory Services Program, Kristen Anderson of @earthkandee had this to say: “I strongly believe that Earth Kandee would not be where it is today if it hadn't been for WEV. I found this foundation during quarantine while I was working on my business plan every single day. Once I began taking classes I was able to get my idea off paper and actually start selling in less than six months. Starting a business is SCARY. But, having an advisor through the THRIVE program allows me to bounce ideas off someone with experience who can help guide me in the right direction. Before, I had no idea where to start or where to go next but now I have so many educated people who are a part of the THRIVE team available to meet with whenever I need them. It's much less scary with such a great support system.” Congratulations, Kristen on your new location – offering Ventura delivery or pickup.

Open
Cuando le preguntaron sobre su experiencia con el Programa de Servicios de Asesoramiento Thrive de WEV, Kristen Anderson de Earth Kandee dijo lo siguiente: “Creo firmemente que Earth Kandee no estaría donde está hoy si no hubiera sido por WEV. Encontré esta base durante la cuarentena mientras trabajaba en mi plan de negocios todos los días. Una vez que comencé a tomar clases, pude sacar mi idea del papel y comenzar a vender en menos de seis meses. Iniciar un negocio DA MIEDO. Pero, tener asesor del programa THRIVE permite compartir ideas con alguien con experiencia que puede ayudar a guiarme en la dirección correcta. Antes, no tenía idea de por dónde empezar o por dónde ir, pero ahora tengo muchas personas educadas que son parte del equipo THRIVE disponibles para reunirme cuando las necesite. Da mucho menos miedo con un sistema de apoyo tan bueno ". Felicitaciones, Kristen por tu nueva ubicación, que ofrece entrega o recolección en Ventura. ¡Estamos emocionadas/os de disfrutar de tus batidos Earth Kandee!
