Welcome to It's Never 2 Early 2 Create & Innovate
Empowering Black youth to build businesses, create opportunities, and inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs.
ABOUT
It’s Never 2 Early 2 Create & Innovate (N2E) supports young Black entrepreneurs by providing opportunities to launch businesses, build community, and celebrate innovation.
Founded by Olu Productions, N2E was created to inspire youth to turn their ideas into reality and build economic power early. Since 2017, we’ve hosted markets, workshops, and youth showcases across Seattle, helping over 30 youth-owned businesses take their first steps into entrepreneurship.
In 2023, we expanded our mission with the launch of N2E Plaza, a downtown Seattle pop-up space dedicated to featuring products, events, and activities led by youth entrepreneurs of African descent. N2E Plaza serves as a hub for creativity, cooperative economics, and community wealth-building.
At N2E, we believe it's never too early to dream big, create boldly, and innovate fearlessly.
