MEET THE FOUNDERS

Martina and Kana launched their journey as Market and Event Directors in November 2021, driven by a shared passion for empowering small businesses—especially those owned by women. As entrepreneurs themselves, they understand the challenges of growing a brand and are dedicated to creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to thrive.

HER Market, their flagship event, is a vibrant, curated marketplace designed to spotlight and elevate women-owned brands, fostering direct connections between entrepreneurs and consumers. Alongside HER Market, they also host The Trending Table Market, further expanding their platform for emerging businesses.

Beyond marketplace events, Martina and Kana are passionate about fostering meaningful connections through networking and resource-sharing opportunities. Their curated networking events bring together like-minded entrepreneurs, industry professionals, and community leaders, creating a dynamic space where collaborations flourish, knowledge is exchanged, and business growth is nurtured. By facilitating these connections, they help entrepreneurs build valuable relationships, gain insights, and access the tools needed to scale their ventures.

The Trending Table Inc. is committed to building more than just marketplaces—they are cultivating a supportive ecosystem where small businesses can gain visibility, grow their audiences, and strengthen their brands. Their expansion into media and marketing continues to amplify their impact, providing even more ways for entrepreneurs to be seen and celebrated.
