Women are Rising. We're Here to Help:

We are stewards in the field of mobile apps for business planning, designed specifically for women, minorities and underserved entrepreneurs who lack business education or experience.

Centro Community Partners is a non-profit organization based in Oakland, California partially funded by technology partners Google.org and eBay Inc Foundation who are supporting the development of the Business Planning App. We do this with a single goal in mind: to provide small business women entrepreneurs in California with affordable, culturally appropriate and high-impact enterprise-building tools they can use on their phones and tablets.

Now let's work on your business.

We're in it together.
