Success Stories
Real entrepreneurs. Real impact.

The Lantern Network takes the time to support young, aspiring entrepreneurs in Detroit—everyday people working hard to turn their dreams into reality. I’ve seen businesses here with real potential, and I know we’ll be hearing about their success.
For anyone considering this program, my advice is simple: commit. You get out of it what you put into it. Take advantage of every lesson, every opportunity, and show up. Those who do will see real results.

Program Facilitator

In just three months, my business made nearly $112,000K—thanks to the wisdom from The Lantern Network. The 'least to market' mindset helped me revive an old design, and it went viral on TikTok.
Before this, I struggled to sustain my business, but the support and guidance here have been game-changing. Huge thanks to Tracy Raphael and The Lantern Network!
