About Alice:

Alice began with a conversation. Founders Carolyn Rodz and Elizabeth Gore were discussing the social and economic opportunity that women, minority, immigrant and veteran business owners offer to the world. Inclusivity and accessibility came up time and time again. So, both women made a commitment to do everything in their power to change the existing small business ecosystem to support these entrepreneurs.
