CoRise Capital is a regenerative loan fund designed to help historically excluded founders grow businesses rooted in service, ownership, and legacy. We provide flexible, non-extractive capital to Black, indigenous, and underfunded entrepreneurs - particularly in HVAC, food and wellness, and culture-based trades. We fund what traditional banks overlook. Our capital meets you where you are, aligned with your revenue, not your personal credit score.
For too long, funding has failed our communities. Banks gate keep. Investors overlook. And bootstrap culture breaks under pressure. CoRise Capital was built to change that. We’re not just a lender. We’re a financial partner helping entrepreneurs access capital, grow properly, and build something they can pass on.
We use regenerative finance principles to circulate wealth, not extract it. Every dollar we lend is tied to future community ownership and opportunity. We combine capital with tools: financial literacy, back-office support and funding strategy. Because capital alone isn’t enough, strategy matters too.
We fund service-based businesses doing $50k - $500k annually who are ready to grow, invest in back-office systems, or acquire their next asset. We’re especially excited about Black-led companies in trades, food, wellness, and local cultural economies. If you’re overlooked, underfunded, or unbanked, this is for you.
