My mentors, the Center for Women's Entrepreneurship staff, and other experts in the IncubateHER program have helped me to develop a roadmap to continue to strengthen and grow our business over the next few years. I now have tools in my toolbox to strategize next steps and analyze for course corrections as needed.

CenterPisa provides beautifully designed centerpieces on a rental basis for events like weddings, bar mitzvahs, and showers. The centerpieces are affordable and eco-friendly compared to traditional centerpieces like floral arrangements or items that are used only once. Available in designs to complement any theme from glamorous to shabby chic to garden party.

IncubateHER has been an amazing experience. I have not only received helpful mentoring, I have improved my business acumen. All of this has helped CenterPisa to grow from a small idea to a prospering business. I expanded my network and, most importantly, I was held accountable until it became second nature for me to run and grow my own business.
