The hub, located at The Rosewood Initiative, 14127 S.E. Stark St., was made possible thanks to an $80,000 investment from Comcast and the Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Rosewood Small Business Tech Hub is a powerful investment in advancing economic equity for East Portlanders,\u201d said Portland City Council President Jamie Dunphy. \u201cWe have countless home-based businesses working hard behind the scenes, and many of them don\u2019t have access to high-speed internet, professional equipment, or a dedicated workspace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResources like this Tech Hub will open doors and create opportunities for so many hardworking people in our community,\u201d Councilor Dunphy added.<\/p>\n<p>The Tech Hub, which had a soft opening Thursday, Feb. 26, will have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Workshops and Training \u2013 Skill building opportunities focused on topics like digital marketing and social media for businesses, tech skills, product photography, bookkeeping and tax prep<\/li>\n<li>One-on-one Support \u2013 Matching entrepreneurs with a small business liaison from Prosper Portland<\/li>\n<li>Technology Access \u2013 Drop-in hours for small business owners to use high-speed internet, desktop and laptop computers, a photo studio with professional equipment, and business software<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis tech hub will reduce technological barriers that too often prevent community members from pursuing their dream of starting and nurturing a business,\u201d said Sabrina Wilson, executive<\/p>\n<p>Director of The Rosewood Initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The Rosewood Initiative was founded in 2009. The organization offers a safe, healthy, vibrant space where neighbors can thrive.
