Caravanserai Project Announces Fourth Cohort of Mission-Driven Startups

Caravanserai Project announced the fourth cohort of startups slated to participate in its Social Entrepreneurship, Engagement and Development Lab Pre-accelerator (SEED Lab). Caravanserai Project is committed to identifying, mobilizing and supporting leaders to build sustainable and future-ready ventures for profits and nonprofits. SEED Lab Pre-accelerator turbo-charges early-stage social innovators from historically underserved communities in California’s Inland Empire.

As the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is signed into law, providing critical relief to disadvantaged communities across the country, Caravanserai Project is investing in empowering 13 entrepreneurs who join the 2021-2022 SEED Lab Pre-accelerator to tackle challenges in education (Ankita Ahluwalia and Lisa Booth), healthcare (Kristie Allison, Regina Queen and Christine Peart), housing (Noura Bishay), food security (Lynn Summers), gender and racial equity (Denise Davis and Anthony Russell Jerry), workforce and immigration (Juan Maya Hernandez), community engagement (Janelle Guerrero and Kai King) and economic empowerment (Armando Ehrenzweig). Their innovations range from connecting immigrant talent to professional opportunities to providing wellness programs for veterans, and customized education services addressing ethnic and social/emotional learning needs in schools.
