Emlyn Roesler is the founder of Solid Soaps and a 2023 recipient of the Project Rebuild grant. When Emlyn heard about the grant, she originally was hesitant about applying due to the difficulty of other grant applications. Yet, to her delight, she was chosen as one of the Austin AAPI business owners to receive the grant and it drastically changed her business for the better. With the Project Rebuild grant money, Emlyn was able to hire Claire, a part-time Solid Soaps assistant, who helps with the soapmaking process. This has allowed Emlyn to focus on administrative tasks, such as marketing and emails, and most importantly, free up some time for her family. After receiving the grant and adding Claire to the Solid Soaps team, Emlyn has been able to scale her business immensely and gained increased visibility, such as being named Bramberry's Maker of the Month in May of 2024. We are so happy to share Emlyn's success story and hope to bring more small business success through this year's Project Rebuild grant! Attend our Project Rebuild Small Business Forum on July 17; Applications open during the event. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT REBUILD GRANT with the 🔗 in BIO.

"The Project Rebuild Grant of 2023 helped me achieve the opportunity to be able to rent out a temporary shared kitchen space. This gave me the chance to be able to run some food service concepts without using my personal funds to achieve some research and development. I created a meal prep program that was able to work its course for almost 1 year. This grant allowed me to create more income to plan for a second year with the shared kitchen, but doing a different concept. The grant can go a long way if used properly. I appreciate having this chance to grow and reflect on how to further push my personal chef services." - Rene B.
