Women run about 40% of small businesses in the United States, yet they have the least access to financing and advisory support. On NBC New York’s “Moms Mean Business,” TAP CEO Jane Veron explained why closing that gap is the reason The Acceleration Project (TAP) exists. “They lack nothing in ambition, they lack nothing in capacity,” she said. “They just don’t have the 360 wraparound business support, and that’s why we exist.”

The segment, “A single mom shares her small business success story,” shows what that support looks like in practice. Reporter Tracie Strahan introduces Sheneka Dalmage, founder of Touchd Medical Spa and a single mother of two who resigned from a two decade career as a nurse practitioner to bet on herself as an entrepreneur. When developers bought her building and forced her business to close, she turned to TAP, a nonprofit that pairs small business owners with seasoned professionals who volunteer their expertise. “TAP has changed the way that I now proceed in everything that I do,” she said.

The results go beyond revenue. With a new location and a growing staff, she said, “I can now step back and be a mom.” Jane called that outcome “monumental,” noting that TAP is about helping owners “build something for themselves, their families, their communities.”

Since 2012, TAP has served 13,100+ entrepreneurs with customized engagements, and TAP aims to help 100,000 small businesses by 2030.
