A MUTUAL SUPPORT
COLLABORATIVE
ABOUT US
The Collab Exchange origin story began with our founder Saraiah Vincent. After recognizing a need within our entrepreneurial community for support, resources, and connections. She saw an opportunity to take action following her personal journey as a creative entrepreneur. Our collabrative was founded in February 2022 after teaming up with some awesome individuals now fondly known as The Collaborators. Our team is made up of nine young black entrepreneurs, all of whom have shared stories of the challenges faced by young people. Each one offers their services, connections, and time all free of charge.
The Collab Exchange is an Atlanta-based collaborative. We strive to foster a safe, supportive, and financially accessible platform for the community. Our events are made possible by and consist of "collaborating" and "Exchanging" tools/resources of mutual benefit. We believe that change starts with self, and we are better together. So when they ask, tell them - "I Am The Investment!"

WHAT WE DO
A Look Back at Our Successful 2022, Signature Events and Ongoing Partnerships. Last year, we hosted two highly anticipated annual signature events: The Collab Exchange market, a free open market for entrepreneurs and small business owners, and Open Mic-Fest, a music festival catering to the music industry. We served over 100 artists, performers, and entrepreneurs, selling out both events with 100-150 guests in attendance. Additionally, we are proud of our ongoing partnership with The Pinky Cole Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by the owner of Atlanta's
Slutty Vegan and Bar Vegan.
