🌟 Building Social Capital for Indy’s Entrepreneurs! 🌟 During the INNOPOWER MINORITY BUSINESS WEEK @ RALLY Conference, Grace Findley, Chief Development and Partnerships Officer of The Indianapolis Foundation sat down with us to explain how her team wants to show small business owners that there’s more to growing than financial capital. The Indianapolis Foundation is on a mission to help small businesses and entrepreneurs grow beyond just financial capital. According to Grace Findley, the foundation is focused on making #Indianapolis the best community by investing in its social capital. 💼💡 Grace says it’s about understanding our community and opening doors for entrepreneurs and investors of color. With a commitment to creating pathways into the innovation economy, the foundation is working with InnoPower LLC (InnoPower Indy) to identify opportunities where philanthropy can step in and make a difference. 🔑 “Social capital is just as important as financial capital,” Grace explains. The foundation is stepping in to take investment risks when others won’t, seeking solutions for big problems and helping Indy’s business ecosystem thrive. 🌱 #Entrepreneurs—it’s time to tap into Indy’s social capital and discover your place in the innovation economy! 🚀 #IndianapolisFoundation #SocialCapital #Entrepreneurship #InnovationEconomy #CommunityBuilding #InnoPower #IndyBusiness #EconomicEmpowerment #InvestInIndy #SmallBusinessSupport #Leadership

SOLVEIT 2024, powered by Interise has been awsome thus far. We often just “Talk About it”, but it’s time to actually “Solve It”. What are we solving? The disparities in growing and scaling small businesses owned by individuals and/or families of color. We have awsome businesses that CAN/DO compete with others. We just need opportunities, funding, chances and connections! #Interise2024 #Entrepreneurship
