Hatch Tribe believes in supporting other women as they get their business going, which is why we give via Kiva loans, which allow many entrepreneurs the ability to bring their businesses to light. Today, we talk with Kristina Watanabe about how he KIVA-funded biz brings health and wellness to her community.

Like most entrepreneurs that Hatch Tribe helps fund through Kiva loans, Eli Walker had a vision. Only hers involved yoga and beer!

Since February 2016, Hatch Tribe has pledged to invest a portion of all profits into other women-owned businesses. Now, we’re excited to share the story of one of those businesses with you! Check out the story of Candy Schibli and her KIVA-funded company, Southeastern Roastery, including what she’s learned in the process of funding her business.

Kristen Schwiers proves that age doesn't need to stop a woman from launching. Rather than wait, Schwiers created Charleston Candle Co. as she was simultaneously enrolling in graduate school. Now her company is well off the ground and you can find her hand-poured, Charleston-inspired candles in shops along the coast.
