Services
Support built around real businesses.
From free 1:1 consultations and public workshops to corporate events powered by Chicago's most talented entrepreneurs, DRK's services meet business owners and partners where they are.
For Entrepreneurs
1 on 1 Consultations
We offer complimentary one-on-one consultations to both DRK grant recipients and small business owners seeking guidance. We understand that entrepreneurship can sometimes feel isolating, and the classroom setting may seem overwhelming.
Our approach is to meet individuals where they are and foster authentic connections. Schedule a 30 minute consultation or a visit to your business.
For Corporate Partners
Buena Gente
Are you a corporate partner looking to bring diverse culinary experiences and programming to your next workplace event? Then let us bring Buena Gente (good people) to you!
We source food and entertainment options directly from businesses owned by women, BIPOC, and undocumented entrepreneurs to create an unforgettable event for you and your team.
Open to the Public
Free Workshops
DRK workshops are both free of charge and accessible to the public. These workshops are facilitated by industry experts and cover a wide spectrum of topics, including finance, legal, operations, and marketing.
These resources are designed to benefit entrepreneurs at all stages of their journey, whether they are seasoned professionals looking to refine their skills or individuals who are just embarking on their small business ventures.
Partnerships
Let's work together.
We collaborate with local community organizations, nonprofits, chambers of commerce and business associations in support of a greater vision for our community. If you would like to share a resource, get to know us better, or discuss an idea, send us a message and a member of our team will reach out to you directly.
