How did you start your business?
After working closely with an environmental consultant I realized that I could make more of an impact in the private sector of environmental restoration. Out of a desire to protect the west coast from the mounting impacts of climate change, desertification, and water scarcity, I knew I wanted to focus on stream and meadow restoration. Fortunately our business has grown immensely over the past three years and we have had the opportunity to do several large scale meadow restoration projects across the state using low-tech process-based restoration. These healing structures, have the potential to restore streams to their natural floodplain, thus increasing the water storage and filtration capacity of meadows. My education and values I gained at Humboldt State led me on this path of environmental restoration and protection and gave me the tools I need to perform as a business owner. Currently my team is comprised of three Humboldt State alumni, myself included.

How did you start your business?
My business partner (now husband!) and I met while studying marine science at Cal Poly Humboldt in 2014. We decided to start a career in seaweed aquaculture because we were witnessing collapse of kelp forest ecosystems along the north coast. We have been seaweed farming in San Diego since 2017 and recently expanded operations back to Humboldt.

How did you start your business?
I took my graphic design skills that I learned from the late Wayne Knight at Humboldt, and applied them to laser cutting technology. First I sold Steampunk holiday ornaments on Etsy in 2011 but I moved on to gift items like souvenir lantern kits. I've been selling to gift shops around the SF Bay Area since 2012. I also do custom designs for corporate gifting.

How did you start your business?
I started my business in 2012. I had a few bookkeeping clients, and I did some training to become a QuickBooks ProAdvisor and then just started marketing myself. SBDC helped a lot and I taught some workshops through them. This increased my confidence and got my name out there a bit. I've steadily increased by client base ever since, and now employ four bookkeepers, a graphic artist and a client support person.

How did you start your business?
2021 is our 20 year anniversary! I started ROI with a small team of two employees in 2001. Our first client was HP and they are still a client today. We work with dozens of fortune 500 companies helping them improve their cultures and communicate effectively within the organization. Before I started the company, I had been working inside a large organization doing communication. This was my 4th business. My first business was selling hotdogs and tofu dogs from a cart on the square in Arcata while I was going to Humboldt! My business was called Humdoggers. :)
