An Overview


Every business needs capital to start, grow, and succeed. The average entrepreneur needs a minimum of $25,000 to start and 43% needed additional funding to grow their business. While ultimate success depends upon value proposition, 82% of failed startups site cash flow issues as a condition for closure. The root cause of the problem is systemic and institutional barriers to traditional financing which make capital elusive for most entrepreneurs.

More than 80% of startup capital comes from entrepreneurs and their network of relationships, which acts as a systemic barrier for low-to-medium income households experiencing severe credit constraint and historic wealth inequality.  Women and minority entrepreneurs face additional challenges such as discriminatory bias from capital providers.

 

 


We know entrepreneurs from many diverse backgrounds face weighty barriers. These barriers impose a high cost to the U.S. economy, in terms of job creation and innovation.
