Facilitator: Iris Lee
A licensed Real Estate Broker, Iris applies her skills and passion for developing sustainable communities by offering match-making services to small business owners and vacant commercial spaces in San Francisco. She focuses on assisting small business entrepreneurs in achieving their dream of opening a brick and mortar location. Additionally she has been an advocate for small businesses by listening to their needs and uplifting their voice. She has a strong network of providers who have various programs and specialities that can make or break a business who is just beginning, expanding or transforming and is able to identify which services a business owner can benefit from. This also comes with bringing strong community minded entrepreneurs to San Francisco who will continue to support the community at large.

SCALE: It is a program created by the California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA) to provide the tools and resources necessary for diverse small entrepreneurs in California to access financing opportunities and achieve success for their businesses.

Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center participates in the SCALE program as a Resource Partner. Through this initiative, we will connect you with a wide network of partners who can provide all the resources necessary to prepare a loan application.

Note: Our services and programs are open to all entrepreneurs. All Renaissance WBC/SOMA programs and services are extended to the public on a nondiscriminatory basis.
