WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Cassandre Davilmar
Cassandre Davilmar opened Lakou Cafe to host local art shows, open mic nights, cultural conversation groups, and concerts for the community. But in March 2020 sales decreased and they had to close the doors due to COVID-19. Later that year, Cassandre received a one-time $5,000 grant to add to their PPP loan. Cassandre worked with Start Small Think Big’s finance program on projections, planning, and bookkeeping.

Ultimately, Cassandre saved their business and reopened Lakou, experiencing a 38% revenue increase.
