We imagine a world where funding women entrepreneurs is the norm, not the exception. Despite starting businesses at twice the rate of men, women receive 3% of venture capital and 5% of bank loans. The XXcelerate Fund supports women entrepreneurs by providing access to the debt financing that growing women-led businesses need, and the financial education, mentorship, and peer support necessary to build strong, profitable Oregon-based businesses. Our goal is threefold: more women-owned businesses that are bankable, investable, or profitable and independent.
