As 2024 draws to a close, we at EqualSpace are taking a moment to celebrate the milestones, growth, and impact we’ve achieved together. This year has been a transformative one, filled with opportunities to foster innovation, empower underrepresented founders, and build meaningful connections within our community.

In our 2024 End-of-Year Report, we’re proud to highlight some of the standout moments, including:

• The success of Newark Tech Week and Small Business Week, where we brought together thousands of changemakers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to share insights, forge partnerships, and elevate local businesses.
• The continued growth of our ES550 expansion project, which will provide even more resources, event spaces, and opportunities for small business owners and creatives.
• Key collaborations with national organizations like Kickstarter, which helped our members access valuable resources and networks far beyond Newark.

Our commitment to fostering diversity, inclusivity, and economic growth remains at the core of everything we do. We’re dedicated to ensuring that equal access to resources and opportunity is available to all, especially those from underrepresented communities.

We’re incredibly grateful to our funders, partners, and the entire EqualSpace community for making this year a success. As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to continue expanding our impact, creating new opportunities, and building a brighter future for entrepreneurs in Newark and beyond.
