What we do

We lend directly up to $100,000 and connect borrowers to partner institutions for needs up to $2 million and beyond. Every loan is paired with free technical assistance, because access to capital without access to expertise leaves too many businesses exposed.

As a U.S. Treasury certified CDFI, a California DFPI licensee and an IRS registered 501(c)(3), we are accountable to the communities we serve and to the regulators who certify our work.
