Making a vital tool for entrepreneurs and strivers more accessible in a multilingual city.

Developed in collaboration between the Mayor’s Innovation Team and over ten City departments, the LA Small Business Portal, launched September 2016, has been a valuable aid to entrepreneurs, fostering a culture of small business in L.A. A standalone Spanish site, launched in January 2017, has enhanced its effectiveness in a multilingual city. Our SPARK funds covered translation costs and technical implementation.
