HUSTLE Winston-Salem exists to facilitate and promote a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem by working with both entrepreneurs and community stakeholders. We focus on and advocate for those that are most at-risk for systematic exclusion or marginalization in the local innovation economy:​

 

People of Color including but not limited to Black/African-American, Hispanic/Latinx, Asians, Native Americans, and immigrants.

 

Women of all races, ages, classes, backgrounds, and education levels.

 

​​Marginalized Communities for whom entrepreneurial development can serve as a catalyst for needed economic growth or that at risk for gentrification.
