Espinoza sprang into the business world after getting a degree in entrepreneurship from University of Texas at San Antonio and interning with Launch SA almost 10 years ago. He took the director position after Launch SA relaunched with a new contract from local business incubator Geekdom.<\/p>\n
On the podcast, he said the support and attention he received when he was starting out built his idea of what Launch SA should be now: a one-stop shop for small business owners.<\/p>\n

Whether more established small businesses are overcoming a particular challenge or a new business owner is just starting out, Espinoza said Launch SA provides a combination of one-on-one assistance and network of experts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince Launch SA\u2019s inception, the goal was to be a one-stop-shop and that means providing people with whatever route they\u2019re looking for,\u201d Espinoza said.<\/p>\n
Espinoza said Launch SA was aiming to become a hub for the small business ecosystem. Whether that was connecting small business owners to ideas or funding, the goal is to have answers for the difficult problems small businesses may face.<\/p>\n
Small business owners can face multilayered challenges, Espinoza said. It can be a hard job, especially when addressing problems outside a person\u2019s area of expertise.<\/p>\n
\u201cOftentimes, there\u2019s not one specific piece of the business, there\u2019s a couple things you have to address and sometimes that can get overwhelming,\u201d Espinoza said.<\/p>\n
Launch SA works with people to break down those problems into manageable parts. Then, Espinoza added, business owners can use Launch SA to connect with other resources. <\/p>\n
People are welcome to attend weekly talks and events<\/a> where banks, investors, business development organizations and other small business owners present their ideas and needs.<\/p>\n
