Ask HN: Starting/running a Minority Women Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE)?
Having worked in B2B and Municipal (City, State, Federal) procurement I did interact with numerous firms that qualified as MWBE. Mostly in professional services. I know a couple people who genuinely fit the mold for taking a risk to start a business as an MWBE, so would like to ask if there are any examples or testimonies here. Might be an interesting discussion!
For reference, here's an overview: http://www.mwbe.com/cert/certification.htm
- lsjdfkljdfwkwdf 9y agoWhy does ethnicity/gender matter here?
- 6stringmerc 9y agoBecause ethnicity is a factor in a Minority Owned Business Enterprise and gender is a factor in a Women Owned Business Enterprise because they have different parameters. Some may be eligible for either, but why would they pick one versus the other? I'm hoping to get some context on that.
