Representation matters. As an Asian-owned small business ourselves with a team of majority Asian Americans, we believe that creating a safe and supportive space for everyone. All our markets allow free entry for those under 12 years old as we believe it's important that the next generation sees the wealth of opportunities beyond what are more traditionally expected career paths and to highly encourage the path of entrepreneurship.

Makers are prompted to be paired with another maker alongside them to encourage a sense of belonging and camaraderie. Many factors are taken into consideration as we plan out complementary pairs that hopefully is just the beginning of future friendship and partnership to come. We've seen time and time again makers become longtime collaborators beyond our markets.
