you want business growth that feels good long term.
I have the foundations & strategy to get you there.
you can think of us as your super-focused thought partner.
Hey, I’m Kiva, founder and CEO of The 516 Collaborative.
My team and I are on a mission to enable your business to grow with confidence and ease.
I’ve been in this space for a long time - long enough to tell you that I’ve seen countless brilliant entrepreneurs play it small because they don’t have the data necessary to bring laser focus into their business.
This results in inefficiencies, lower profits, and shotty productivity.
That stops now.
I want you to thrive beyond your wildest dreams.
Let’s talk about how numbers & strategy can become a key driver for your business.
you might not know this, but…
Here are some fun facts about Kiva & the 516 team
I’m that mom.
The one who brings spreadsheets to her kids’ speech competitions and organized the volunteers at my church. I bring organization and streamlined processes to more than just your business!
You want me on your trivia team.
I’m more than your go-to data diva.. I started my career on Capitol Hill and have a Master’s degree in Public Administration. In my career, I’ve done everything from legislative assistance to running my own Etsy shop. Plus, I homeschooled my kids – I know a LOT about a lot of things!
We love Women’s Advocacy.
I believe that entrepreneurship helps fight income disparity and know that while women of color start businesses at higher rates than their counterparts, those businesses don’t tend to last. I love connection people with the individuals and resources they need to WIN!
Now, we want to get to know YOU!
