Bilingual Business Support

Expanding Access to Business Resources and Opportunity

Tahoe’s small businesses and entrepreneurs are essential to a strong regional economy. TPC works to make business resources more accessible to Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs across the Tahoe Basin—connecting people with trusted advising, information, networks, and opportunities in both California and Nevada.

Business Support That Meets People Where They Are

Access starts with trust and connection. TPC works alongside community organizations and business-support partners to bring resources directly into the community—through bilingual outreach, workshops, community events, one-on-one connections, and accessible materials. 

We also help connect Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs with professional business advising through the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) network, where they can get support with starting, strengthening, and growing a business.

From Access to Participation

Our goal goes beyond connecting entrepreneurs to services. We want Tahoe’s Spanish-speaking business community to be part of the conversations and relationships shaping our regional economy.

TPC creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to connect with peers through Tahoe Inc., participate in Tahoe Business Walks, and share their experiences and needs with regional business and community leaders.

Through trusted relationships with organizations such as Sierra Community House and the regional Junta, we continue to listen, learn, and identify opportunities to strengthen entrepreneurial support throughout the region.

Building a More Inclusive Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

Made Possible Through Partnership

This work has grown through the support and collaboration of partners committed to expanding access to entrepreneurial opportunity in the Tahoe region.
