    Refine Collective: Salad Bowl Collectives Taste More Refined

    Have you ever been in a position where you had to choose between the corner Starbucks and your local black, queer and veteran-owned coffee shop? Actually, let’s rephrase the question: do you know where the local black, queer, veteran-owned coffee shop is in your neighborhood?

In this conversation, IB shares how recognizing a gap between the growing purchasing power of people of color, women and members of the LGBTQ+ community led to a digital network that provides consumers the opportunity to easily locate and buy from the underrepresented, in addition to cultivating a network for business owners.
