Congratulations to Carlie S. for winning Galaxy's $25,000 Grant for Growth! We are excited to see where this grant will take you on your entrepreneurial journey. Best of luck!

"Winning the Galaxy of Stars Grant has been a truly life-changing moment for me. Elev8 is a trusted platform that connects users to holistic and spiritual practitioners around the world, and just a few months after launching, this support is giving us the momentum we need to grow. The funding will allow us to add valuable new features to our website and run social media campaigns to connect with more people, letting them know there is a trusted platform in this space ready to support them.

The Galaxy of Stars community has already been an incredible resource, from utilizing the listing and directory, to connecting in the forums, to receiving thoughtful price list advice from the Hidden Star team. Starting a business and self-funding something you are deeply passionate about can be challenging, especially financially. When I learned I had won, it was emotional for me. It felt like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, a reminder that this vision is possible." - Carlie S.

And a big thank you 🙏 to everyone who participated - the funds raised will allow us to provide more grant opportunities and improve our services to further support women & minority business owners all over the country.
