We award $1,000 micro-grants to new founders every quarter.
We are the connective tissue to the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and provide key introductions and connections to help founders turn their dreams into reality.
Access to capital is not an equal playing field. Our mission is to inspire and support under-resourced founders to build their dreams.
Our hometown of Buffalo, New York has many nicknames, but we've always felt "the city of good neighbors" to be the most representative of the soul of the city.
It is a diverse community that has endured heartache and tragedy, yet always rallies to help its neighbors.
We couldn't think of a more fitting name for our organization.
Our micro-grant process is simple and 100% online. Complete a short form and record a 60 second pitch video. Our LP teams will review all applications, and at the close of each quarter will meet to determine the micro-grant award winners.
This is not venture capital and we expect no return on investment. This is belief capital— an endorsement of your potential.
