Our Philosophy

“My grandad had a 6th grade education, but he knew how to work. He recognized that partnering with others was the best way to better his circumstances. At Cholla, we don’t give a damn about pedigree. If you have an idea—and you possess grit, humility, and the desire to better yourself and your community—we want to succeed with you.”

– Gideon O. Powell, CEO
