We are honored to work with successful, innovative, and community-oriented entrepreneurs. We believe in the power of entrepreneurship to transform lives and communities. In the last 10 years we closed 559 loans that totaled more than $46.5 million. Our borrowers have created thousands of new jobs in the Bay Area. Our vision is to empower small business owners to succeed, transforming their lives and helping their communities thrive.
