Public description

About the program

Founders First Capital Partners operates accelerator and funding programs for service-based small businesses led by underrepresented founders, including women, people of color, veterans and founders in low- and moderate-income communities. Its programs combine structured business coaching with revenue-based financing rather than traditional equity investment. Founders First reports that companies from its accelerator and funding programs have reached the Inc. 5000 list.
