We recently had the honor of celebrating the Grand Opening of The Wellness Institute of Neurodevelopment (WIN), founded by Dr. Carmen Baez Franceschi! 🌟 As a dedicated participant in our Entrepreneur Connection program for over three years, Dr. Baez Franceschi worked tirelessly to bring her vision to life. With BakerRipley’s support, she secured $1.7 million in capital through the SBA 7a program and received a $5,000 grant through HarrisHUB to help fuel her business growth. 🚀 👏 Congratulations, @Dr. Baez Franceschi, on this milestone! We are so proud to support entrepreneurs like you who make a real impact in our community.
