On June 13th, the Center for Community Transformation hosted the 2024 Start-Up Fest, a small business expo at Fresno Pacific University’s Warkentine Culture and Arts Center. About 40 vendors showcased their start-ups’ products and services! Attendees connected with these business owners, enjoyed dinner and dessert from local food trucks, and celebrated the following Entrepreneur of the Year awardees:
- Los Dogos de Gordo (awarded by Central Valley Women’s Entrepreneur Center)
- Tink Construction (awarded by CCT)
- La Zapoteca (awarded by Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation)
- Bichos y más (awarded by the Central Valley Immigrant Integration Collaborative)
Thank you to our vendors, sponsors, and community who attended for making this such an incredible event. We can’t wait to see you at next year’s Start-Up Fest!
