We envision a world where all
entrepreneurship is soul-driven
heart + soul fueled goals
For The 3rd, “soul-driven” entrepreneurship means building businesses with purpose,
integrity, and a commitment to positive impact. Rather than focusing solely on profit, soul-driven entrepreneurs create ventures that align with their core values and contribute
meaningfully to their communities. It’s about using business as a vehicle for both personal
fulfillment and social change, transforming the entrepreneurial journey into one that fuels
the soul and enriches lives.
the future we are building
Our vision is to lead a movement that redefines entrepreneurship by shifting the focus from traditional business development to human development. We believe that the future of business is people-centered, where nurturing the full potential of the individual creates lasting economic and social impact.
At The 3rd, we aim to build a new entrepreneurial ecosystem—one that empowers Black women, Women of Color, and individuals from disenfranchised communities to drive change. This is more than building businesses; it’s about cultivating leaders who transform their communities and rewrite the narrative of success in the modern world.
