At Pace University Small Business Development Center (SBDC) we remain committed to showing up for New York City’s vibrant small business community. In recent weeks, our team has participated in several events across Brooklyn and Downtown Manhattan, connecting directly with entrepreneurs, local partners, and resource organizations dedicated to supporting small business success.

Flatbush Commons Small Business Expo

At the Flatbush Commons Small Business Expo, Pace SBDC Regional Director Andrew Flamm served on the Access to Small Business Financing panel, sharing insights on loan readiness, SBA programs, and funding pathways for early-stage and established businesses. Meanwhile, the Pace SBDC team connected with dozens of local entrepreneurs to discuss startup planning, market research, and access-to-capital strategies.

Veteran Small Business Event with NYC SBS

To support New York City’s growing community of veteran entrepreneurs, the Pace SBDC tabled at the Veteran Small Business event organized by the NYC Department of Small Business Services.
