A new era of economic development

In a time when the United States exhibits wider disparities of wealth between rich and poor than any other major developed nation - join us to create an inclusive economy that works for everyone.

Interise is convening visionaries, practitioners, and small businesses who are actively changing the model of economic development, making sure to address the systemic issues that prevent sustainable change and impact. #SolveIt

Everyone has a role to play.

Business owners are our economic heroes, and this network plays a crucial role in supporting their growth and success.

Scaling small minority-owned businesses and those located in low-income areas addresses inequality head on – creating wealth for the business owners, employees, and their communities. But business development is only a piece of this system-wide problem. #SystemsChange
