La Cocina is a ground-breaking incubator that cultivates low-income food entrepreneurs as they formalize and grow their businesses. We do this by providing affordable, shared, commercial kitchen space; industry-specific technical assistance and services; and access to market opportunities and capital.
La Cocina works to solve the problems of equity in business ownership; inclusivity in the mainstream American marketplace; barriers to entry for women, people of color and immigrant business owners; and the high cost of entry in the food industry.
In an increasingly expensive economy, La Cocina businesses have succeeded at a rate that far exceeds the national average, graduating 60+ entrepreneurs, launching 30 brick-and-mortar restaurants, creating hundreds of jobs, and generating $16MM+ in revenue in 2019.
By the end of March 2020 in the pandemic, 70% of La Cocina-born businesses lost 100% of their revenue. As a nation, we lack the structural support systems to properly care for hourly workers and small business owners. It’s time to advocate together for immediate support and change.
