    • This space is for founders & entrepreneurs who believe in business as a force for social justice, liberation, and collective care.

      If you're here, we trust you share these values:

      ✨ Black lives matter.
      ✨ Indigenous communities deserve reparations, land back, and justice.
      ✨ Trans rights are human rights, and 2SLGBTQ+ rights must be protected.
      ✨ Genocide is always wrong. Period.🍉
      ✨ Money isn’t inherently bad - it’s how you use it that counts

      We believe in community over competition, building inclusive wealth, and creating businesses that uplift rather than extract. We aren’t striving to be billionaires 👎🏼

      If this resonates with you, we’d love to have you join us. If not, this space isn’t the right fit—and that’s okay. We’re building with those who share our vision 🪴

    Check your email to confirm your signup—otherwise, you won’t get your links! You’ll also get a reminder every other Thursday with the link to join.

    By signing up, you understand you’ll be added to the Founding Possibilities newsletter ‘Build Ecosystems, Not Empires™’. Unsubscribe any time.

    Meet Your Host 👋🏽

    Hey, I’m Gelaine Santiago (she/her)!

    I’m an award-winning social entrepreneur, speaker, and business strategist for justice-driven BIPOC founders.

    For the past decade, I’ve been working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, social justice, and cultural identity.

    Previously, I co-founded Cambio & Co. Filipino Jewelry and Sinta & Co. Filipino Weddings, two mission-driven e-commerce brands partnering with artisans in the Philippines. My co-founder and I bootstrapped both into multiple six-figure companies serving customers in 21 countries, created over $1M worth of livelihood for Filipino artisans, and did it primarily through organic and community-led marketing. 

    Today I’m the Founder and CEO of Founding Possibilities—a growth and education studio. I help racialized entrepreneurs scale their online B2C businesses to six figures and beyond, while building generational wealth for their communities. And I’m so excited you’re here!

    I can’t wait to co-work with you!

      What’s Co-Working?

      Exactly what it sounds like—working, but with a community! Everyone tackles their own tasks, and we check in periodically to share goals, celebrate wins, and support each other.

      These sessions are perfect for setting aside dedicated time for those important projects that always get pushed aside.

      Why Join Coworking?

      And a question you might be wondering…

      • After a quick check-in, we’ll break up into 2 focused sprints of 40 minutes each. During this time, everyone works on their own thing & we regroup after. You’ll be surprised how much you can get done.

      • Every entrepreneur needs a squad of trusted peers who share your values and get the ups & downs of running a business. Between focus sprints, there’ll be lots of space to connect and chat with your fellow attendees.

      • Yep, you heard right! During the 20-minute Q&A portion, you can ask me questions about content marketing, business strategy, managing a team, or any of my systems & processes to scale your small business while staying true to your values. If we can cover it in 20 mins, you can ask it!

        These sessions are most useful for online founders growing purpose-driven businesses up to $250K annual revenue— especially if you’re navigating that messy middle between early stage and sustainable growth.

      • You may not get everything done on your list, but you’ll leave the sessions feeling energized with forward momentum to keep working on your projects & grow your biz.

        Plus it’s always helpful to swap ideas & learn from other business owners!

      • I believe everything is a mutual energy exchange*, so these sessions benefit me, too!

        On the business side: These sessions provide a way for folks who are interested in working with me to experience my coaching style live, I learn about your challenges, and get to meet interesting founders!

        On the personal side, I have ADHD and body doubling/co-working helps me focus. I also love hosting and bringing community together, so these sessions energize me! They’re also a way for me to offer accessible support to folks who might not have the budget to work with me right now.
