Empowering Micro & Small Business Owners With Resources
The Ajapreneur Academy, a signature program of Aja Takes Action Foundation, was created to close the knowledge, resource, and funding gaps faced by micro and small business owners. Our Academy specializes in hands-on business development education, entrepreneurship training, grant-readiness, funding access, and practical resources that help entrepreneurs launch, grow, and sustain their businesses with confidence.
We believe every entrepreneur deserves a blueprint for success—so we built a program that provides the “what to do” and the “how to do it.”

How We’re Different
What makes us unique is our approach:

Our instructors have been in the trenches—starting businesses, managing teams, securing funding, and navigating the challenges entrepreneurs face every day.
⭐ We support both new and existing micro-businesses.
Whether you're pre-launch, just getting started, or already operating—we meet you where you are.
⭐ We focus on sustainability, not just startup hype.
Our Academy prioritizes long-lasting success through strategic planning and operational strength.
