Eats-Place-picThe District of Columbia Small Business Development Center (DCSBDC) Network at the at Howard University School of Business has worked with Katy Chang for the past three years on her community food incubator, EatsPlace – from its inception to a thriving business. Katy is a leader in the local business community, as evidenced by her selection as one of 40 CEOs participating in the SBA Emerging Leaders Program along with her other awards and accolades.

Ms. Chang has built a business that welcomes new people with new ideas by reducing the barriers to entry into the food, beverage and hospitality industries. EatsPlace hosts events that educate and inspire, including new business start-up open houses and classes for aspiring restauranteurs.

This demand to experience EatsPlace has spawned numerous businesses out of EatsPlace, and created jobs (indirectly) by businesses born out of EatsPlace and (directly) by EatsPlace itself. 

On Wednesday, July 8, 2015, the DC SBDC co-hosted with EatsPlace and corporate sponsors a successful reception for small business clients and professional service providers, to mix and mingle and make connections to further build and grow their businesses. Mr. Antonio Doss, the Washington Metropolitan Area District Director for the SBA, was in attendance and was very impressed by the event and the venue.
