Our Secret Sauce?

  • Low-Cost Capital: We offer low-cost, unsecured capital (1-5% interest, unsecured, flexible repayment terms) built on trust, not red tape.

  • Social Capital: Go beyond the money. Leverage the expertise and connections of our high-net-worth individual and family network to open doors and grow Black businesses.

  • Evergreen Fund: This fund doesn't just provide a one-time boost; repayments flow back into supporting new Black businesses, creating a continuous cycle of opportunity and growth.

  • Possibility: Invest in dreams, not dividends. Our investors prioritize impact over returns which maximize savings passed on to the business.

  • Active Pipeline:  Our large network of passionate leaders helps us discover promising Black businesses across the Twin Cities, driving our impactful pipeline.  When you work with us, you tap into the power of collective action and make a difference alongside dedicated partners.

  • Foundational Capital:  We go where the market won’t. We take calculated leaps and become the first believers in early-stage ventures. Our unsecured support propels businesses to attract further funding and expert partnerships.

  • Zero Cost Capital:  We don’t pay for capital. Our capital comes from passionate donors who share our vision of economic justice, allowing us to provide financial capital to businesses without needing a personal financial return.

The result?
Thriving Black Business that build wealth from within.
