“After some frustrating experiences navigating the local ecosystem for funding, through introductions and advice from Gloria of Get The Bag, I was able to secure funding and a five-figure contract.”
02 / Community voice
“Get The Bag has been a champion, buyer and promoter of my book “Your Next Level Life: 7 Rules of Power, Confidence, and Opportunity for Black Women in America” since 2020. It has been featured in several iterations of their business and personal gift boxes and loved by men and women alike! I also have found the resources and information shared with the Get The Bag community to be informative and beneficial to growing my business.”
03 / Community voice
“The content that I receive as a member of the Get the Bag community has been instrumental in securing $2.2 million in investments for my fund. As a capital practitioner, it is very helpful to have access to additional funding sources from a culturally competent source. Most importantly, the site is so well curated that I can efficiently find relevant, timely information in one place.”
