Who We Are

The TLE Center for Urban Entrepreneurship (TLECFUE) is a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that provides beauty entrepreneurs with the ecosystem of resources they need to grow a thriving 1-3 person microbusiness.

Who We Serve

We work with beauty businesses across Massachusetts who are working solo or with a few employees.

What We Do

We offer business confidence and skill development training, technical assistance consulting, and access to the critical resources our beauty entrepreneurs will need to successfully grow their businesses.

What's Happening Now

Our Mission

Our primary mission is to develop a pipeline of beauty microbusinesses that are not only owned and operated by owners who are under-resourced but that are also perceptibly contributing to the local economies they serve.

Since 2015, we have been working with our network partners to help business owners operating solo or with a few employees launch and grow their ventures.
