Georgia runs on small companies.

1.4 million of them. Forty-two percent of everyone who works here.

The problem

They are the hardest to fund.

72%
Firms with 50 to 499 employees, approved for financing
47%
Firms with 1 to 4 employees
Federal Reserve Small Business Credit Survey, 2025. United States figures. 2 million US businesses a year never apply for financing at all, because they expect to be turned down. About a third of small firms faced a funding gap despite applying.

What we do

Georgia money into Georgia companies.

Not just tech. A machine shop in Dalton counts.

Growth venturesEquity, for companies built to scale
Operating businessesRepaid from revenue, not from a sale
Community anchorsSmaller checks, where an employer is the last one left

How we choose

Returns matter. They don’t decide alone.

This is not a charity. It is also not only arithmetic.

Jobs it creates here
Whether the founder is coachable
Whether they can actually do it
What it does for the town it’s in
What it returns
How it works, in full

If it doesn’t work

The company can fail. We keep the founder.

Health coverage, a bridge, and someone who picks up the phone.

The Founder Resilience Fund

Invest. Mentor. Open doors.

We’re early. If you want in, say so.
