How We Evaluate
How critical and time-sensitive is your business emergency? How critical is this funding for your business's survival - and do you have a clear path to long-term viability? We want to see realistic financial documentation.
How specific, realistic, and impactful is your proposed use of funds? A budget breakdown with clear priorities, and a direct line from funding to outcomes earns top marks.
How significantly does your business serve underserved communities or address social challenges? Pro-bono services, nonprofit partnerships, and/or direct work with vulnerable populations stand out.
Does the Founder and/or the Company have the experience, skills, and resilience to turn things around? Relevant expertise, past achievements, and a strong track record all signal you'll make the most of this funding.
