Sabrina Mutukisna founder of Built Here Oakland

We sit down with Sabrina: entrepreneur, community builder, and co-creator of the Entrepreneur Guaranteed Income Fund and Built Here, Oakland.From growing up in a Sri Lankan immigrant family running small businesses to launching a social enterprise that hired youth, Sabrina’s journey is rooted in hustle, heart, and a deep belief in the power of community. She shares how being raised around resourcefulness and collective care shaped her approach to entrepreneurship — and why small businesses deserve not just encouragement, but real, sustained support.We talk about building from love instead of scarcity, navigating burnout, and redefining wealth through wellness, interdependence, and joy. Sabrina also reflects on Oakland’s unique spirit — where people open doors for one another, where creativity is abundant, and where the future of entrepreneurship is deeply communal.Whether you’re an entrepreneur, organizer, artist, or simply someone dreaming of building something meaningful, this conversation is an invitation to imagine what's possible when we bet on each other — and ourselves.
