ABC7 News' AAPI Heritage Month feature highlighted the success of our Brooklyn-based small business client, Pho Table Restaurants, and co-owner Matt Vuong—a powerful example of what is possible when entrepreneurs have access to the right resources at the right time.
Through Renaissance's NYC Elevating Business Program, Pho Table received affordable capital and no-cost financial advisory services that helped support the business's expansion and long-term growth.
We are grateful to CeFaan Kim @cefaan and ABC7 News for sharing this story and elevating the voices of AAPI entrepreneurs who are strengthening New York City's small business ecosystem.
The NYC Elevating Business Program demonstrates the impact of strategic investment and cross-sector collaboration. Supported by partners including The Asian American Foundation, the Social Justice Fund, and Empire State Development, the program brings together philanthropic, government, and private-sector leaders to expand access to affordable capital and expert financial guidance for underserved entrepreneurs across New York City's five boroughs.
Every investment helps create pathways for small businesses to grow, create jobs, build community wealth, and contribute to a more inclusive economy.
