Made in California

Miscellaneous


What’s it like being an entrepreneur these days, especially one breaking new ground – that’s on this episode of Made in California. We launched this podcast talking about the challenges we face as we try to get our economy working for everyone. Last episode we started to look at solutions with the opportunity zone program which hopes to bring investments into low income areas. Today, we’re going to look at a group always looking for investments – entrepreneurs. We’re known for our startups in this state. And when it comes to small businesses, it’s worth knowing that they are responsible for nearly half of all private employment and generate two thirds of net new jobs. So how are things going for them? Later in the show Kaitlin is going to tell you about an Entrpreneurship Task Force that we recently launched out of our office. But first, I sat down recently, in Fresno, with Irma Olguin Jr. the CEO and co-founder of Bitwise.
