Meet the founder
Meet Joel Ojeda.
Joel Ojeda is a business owner, consultant, and community advocate dedicated to helping small businesses grow with clarity and confidence.
As the founder of MerchantMate Solutions and a small catering business owner, Joel understands firsthand what it takes to run a business, where every dollar, system, and decision matters. With over 6 years of experience in entrepreneurship and business consulting, he has worked closely with small businesses across the Bay Area.
Through this work, Joel saw a common issue: too many small businesses were being overcharged, underserved, and left without clear guidance when it came to payment processing and POS systems.
That’s what led him to create MerchantMate Solutions — built on transparency, education, and real partnership.
“It’s time we stop building systems that only benefit the top. Real impact happens when we help small businesses keep more of what they earn — because when they grow, the communities they serve grow with them.”
For Joel, this work is about more than business — it’s about creating pathways for upward mobility and strengthening the communities behind every business.
