Today, we want to introduce 4 female entrepreneurs under 30 because
while larger companies are definitely being impacted, at Cappuccino we believe it is the smaller businesses that we should be paying attention to. The dreamers and the doers, the thinkers, the entrepreneurs - the ones who spend hours fixing a design so that it is just right, the ones who stay up late to ship orders, who get up early to update their websites and who spend ages thinking of ways to grow and to connect with their audience. The pandemic has allowed for many of us to rethink what money means to us,  it has taught us to redefine creativity and explore new ways to connect with one another. 

It's no secret that the global economy is taking a massive hit right now, COVID-19 has been a learning experience in more ways than one. That's why we want to focus on small(er) businesses as they are so important for helping local economies, supporting neighborhoods and providing opportunities for entrepreneurs. In addition, they're a creative outlet, a fun learning experience and a way to grow in so many different areas. Here are the 5 women who have been inspiring us lately:
