Join us for a one hour virtual workshop designed for founders at every stage. This session skips legal jargon and focuses on what matters most: how to think about IP early, strategically, and without a massive budget.

Robyn Bowland and Kyle Watson of Irwin IP, part of Miller Johnson, will share what is worth protecting, when to file, and how IP fits into the real work of building a business, from branding and contracts to partnerships and growth.

We will cover:
• How to think about IP even if you are not ready to file
• Common mistakes that create legal or financial risk
• How IP connects to your brand, agreements, and ecosystem
• What to protect now versus later when resources are tight

Whether you are shaping an idea or starting to scale, this workshop offers clear tools to protect what you are building early and intentionally.

See you on Zoom.

In 2025, we supported businesses across Chicago; new openings, expansions, second locations, and reiterations. We slowed down, moved alongside our community, and met you in your natural element.

It was a year of laying foundation. Of building with intention. Of standing shoulder to shoulder with businesses and partners who share a commitment to freedom, care, and deliberate investment in BIPOC creators.

We listened closely to your stories. And as we step into 2026, one vision guides us forward:

To create a world where we can all create — and protect one another at all costs.

What is a system?

A system is how work gets done every time: how you take and pack orders, respond to DMs, accept or decline work, hire, and let go of an employee. If the outcome changes depending on who’s doing it or what day it is, you don’t have a system. You have guesswork, and it’s time to define the process and stick to it.

End of year is when you take an honest look at who’s carrying the work, where accountability breaks down, and whether your structure, pay, and leadership actually support the team you expect to keep.

One lesson the pandemic made clear is that small businesses often fill the gaps left by broken systems—showing up for the people who make our food system possible but are too often denied care and support.

Meet Marcos Carbajal, second-generation owner of Carnitas Uruapan and co-host of Todos Ponen: Una Noche de Pueblos y Platillos. Together, we’re raising funds to support families impacted by ICE.

See you at on January 19!

The restaurant industry exists because of immigrant labor.

From cultivation to production, immigrants power every level of our food system. To deny their contribution is to deny the very backbone of this industry. There is no denying that when systems fail, communities step in and do better than the system ever could.

Pueblos y Platillos is a one-night event bringing together 40+ chefs, tastings, cocktails, and music to raise funds for immigrant families impacted by ICE.

Can’t wait for you to see what we’re working on. Tickets + info at .
