In other cities, many businesses solely exist to help and care for people. In Dayton, there are few.
The Mission is to create many Kingdom Businesses for a variety of populations, i.e., human trafficking survivors, domestic abuse survivors, single moms, single dads, kids aging out of foster care, refugees, etc.
The Strategy is to help create a business with a non-profit who serves that population, through a church, or create one independently.
Watch to Catch the Vision
To Scale, it would be best to build a secular-facing "social enterprise hub" in connection with Launch Dayton and The Hub. Rising Tide Capital Network is a Christ-centered network that helps launch and sustain these hubs to serve the city.
