Pickie Pie and FedEx

Pickie Pie was asked to be a participant in the FedEx+Me Program after being nominated by fashion designer Rachelle Briton and Ellie Scarborough of Pink Kisses.  Our first luncheon for the program was today at Green Pastures. 

About My Story: Austin

The FedEx + Me program launched in Austin as My Story: Austin. Why did we choose Austin as our launching ground? Because Austin is one of the small-business capitals of the world. It's where people with talent, drive and innovative spirit are doing what they love to do. And we love that.
We know that starting a business is demanding - we know because we've been there. We're here to connect you with the people and resources you need to help your big dream grow bigger.
Some of our program benefits include:
  • Networking events where Participants can meet each other while meeting Austin business leaders
  • Small, hands-on workshops and seminars that provide mentorship in the specific areas where our Participants feel they have the most room to grow
  • A "small-business owner of the month" program that showcases one Participant each month in FedEx Office locations around Austin
  • A dedicated community liaison who can connect you with the FedEx resources and staff that can help your business grow
  • A chance to win a professionally produced video highlighting your business or be awarded with one of three small-business grants totaling $30,000. Both video and grant winners are selected based on written submissions.
