Empower Communities. Break Barriers. Amplify Equity.
Entrepreneurship is exciting. But it can also be lonely and intimidating. It can feel as if the system is rigged against you.
And for entrepreneurs who are Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC), women, low income, or justice-impacted… it is.
And it begins with access to capital—or barriers to it.
That’s where Amplify Equity comes in.
“Amplify Equity provides an amazing opportunity and community resources for individuals that have a dream or vision but feel there are too many barriers that will keep them from being able to try. Amplify is the bridge we need so that all individuals are allowed the same opportunities to advance.”
Jennifer Phelps, Beautifully Charcuterie in Ithaca, NY
Where others close their gates, we meet people where they’re at.
We welcome folks into a safe space where they can access not only capital, but crucial business education, resources, and warm, supportive relationships.
We’re with them every step of the way as they dream big and turn their vision into reality.
“When other companies would not even consider helping a new business like mine, Amplify Equity gave me an opportunity and helped build confidence enough to know that the possibilities are truly endless if help is there.”
LaTeka Cooke-Davis, owner of The Juice Collective in Elmira, NY
