Co-creating new pathways for Indigenous entrepreneurs to access capital that reflects Indigenous values and meets you where you are.
Join us for an informative session where we’ll introduce Rooted in Arizona, a relational-based lending initiative by Startup Tucson. Discover a loan program designed to honor your vision and community connection. In this session, we will cover accessing affordable capital, navigating our simple loan application process, and exploring valuable resources like mentorship and workshops. Plus, get your questions answered during an open Q&A!
We’re excited to connect with you and share more about the Rooted Relative Fund. To ensure this program is the right fit for you, consider the following: this fund is designed for Indigenous entrepreneurs who have Tribal affiliations or connections and have a business that has been operating for at least two years. If that sounds like you, we’d love to see you at the session!
