–The Case Foundation

Our Purpose

The Alteri Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering underserved entrepreneurs. Our mission is to help BIPOC small business owners achieve financial success and build generational wealth for themselves and their communities. We accomplish this by providing a range of resources, including educational workshops, mentorship programs, and collaborative partnerships with other organizations. We strive to level the playing field for entrepreneurs and create a more equitable and prosperous future for all.

What we do

We’ve successfully guided many aspiring entrepreneurs through our Founder SprintCamps, providing them with the tools and knowledge to develop their business ideas and create robust business plans.

We’ve connected a local BIPOC entrepreneur with a seasoned mentor in the tech industry, providing invaluable guidance and support as they navigate the challenges of growing their new software company.

We’ve empowered many entrepreneurs to confidently navigate the legal complexities of starting a business by providing them with access to free legal consultations and resources.

Diverse, Inclusive, Equality means Success for All
