HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Incfile, a leader in online business formation and startup services, today announced the winners of its Winter Entrepreneur Grant & Scholarship Program. Incfile has two grants, the Young Entrepreneur Scholarship Grant and the Fresh Start Business Grant; both aim to help foster entrepreneurial spirit, providing one-on-one business consultation and funding to help turn big ideas into reality. To apply for the next round of Incfile’s Entrepreneur Grant Program, please submit your application at incfile.com by 11:59 p.m. PST on March 31, 2023.
"It’s always so inspiring to hear the stories of our entrepreneur grant applicants,” said Dustin Ray, Chief Growth Officer & Co-CEO, Incfile. “Both Lily and Brian have had a great start to their entrepreneurial adventures, and they’re just getting started. We can’t wait to see what’s next as they continue to grow.”
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR SCHOLARSHIP GRANT WINNER:
Lily Chen, REVAnalytics
Lily's inspiration to enter the healthcare technology field came from her grandfather's inability to access quality healthcare in rural China. Due to the lack of an early and accurate diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), he passed away. This loss fueled Lily's fire to make a difference. She worked for three years to build REVAnalytics, a company that increases healthcare affordability and accessibility through data solutions.
FRESH START BUSINESS GRANT WINNER:
Brian Garrett, HUE
In 2018, Brian packed up and moved 800 miles from home — and in the process, he built an entirely new network of human connections. After meeting a diverse array of people from all walks of life and belief systems, he was inspired to make authentic conversations around food and culture, so he founded HUE. HUE is a "private dinner series showcasing chefs of color and connecting people to people." It offers a safe space for dining and discovery, whether you're simply looking to enjoy a special culinary experience or make lasting, meaningful connections.
