Are you Too Early — Now What?

A mentorship initiative connecting early-stage founders and community innovators with experienced people who can help us get unstuck and move forward.

 

Too early for funding. Too early for a loan. Too early because you don’t have enough revenue or traction yet.

I keep hearing it myself—and it made me wonder: Where are people supposed to go to get the help they need to become ready?

 

Sometimes you need help. Sometimes you can help. Sometimes you’re both.

 

Hi, I’m Mari-Lyn Harris, Founder of Heart@Work and the creator of Kindness Village.

 

For years, my work has centered around one question: how can we bring more kindness and humanity into the way we live and care for one another?

 

That question eventually led me to housing. I began seeing that affordability is only part of the challenge. People are also experiencing loneliness, isolation, and a loss of belonging.

I’m  creating Kindness Village to explore a different approach—a community where smaller, attainable homes and shared spaces are intentionally designed to help people connect and belong.

 

I’m not a traditional housing developer. I’m a community builder and advocate who brings people and ideas together. Today, I’m building the partnerships needed to turn Kindness Village from a concept into a real community.

 

At the heart of all my work is a simple belief: kindness can be more than something we practice. It can be something we build.”

Are You Too Early?

Do you hear this often?

“You’re too early.”
Too early for funding.Too early for a loan.
Too early for an accelerator.
Too early because you don’t have revenue yet.

So how are you supposed to get ready?

We bring our questions, experience, connections and ideas to the same table.

Sometimes you come looking for help.
Sometimes you’re the person who can help.
Sometimes you’re both.

What are you stuck on right now?”, and “What experience or knowledge could you bring to the Table?”  Are you Too Early — Now What?

It will be hosted on Zoom, private conversations.. let’s help each other.
