La Cocina (pronounced la co-see-nah, meaning “The Kitchen” in Spanish) is a groundbreaking business incubator designed to reduce the obstacles that often prevent low-income food entrepreneurs from creating successful and sustainable small businesses. By providing an affordable shared commercial kitchen, an array of industry-specific services, and access to market opportunities, La Cocina’s entrepreneurs become economically self-sufficient and contribute to a vibrant economy doing what they love to do.

La Cocina’s partnership with Indiegogo is just another way we help breakdown access to capital barriers that often prevent business from succeeding. By connecting our entrepreneurs with the Indiegogo community we hope to continue to see more women and immigrant entrepreneurs launch, grow and formalize their food businesses
