Join us for this session exploring the powerful intersection of racial economic equity and entrepreneurship. The statistics are telling: a substantial 19% of working-age adults are in the process of starting or running businesses less than 42 months old. While credit unions consistently rank highest in customer satisfaction with lending practices, they often lag behind in the share of loans held by small businesses. 

Throughout Filene's Racial Economic Equity Incubator, we've gleaned invaluable insights into targeted, impactful initiatives. To deepen our understanding of the pivotal role of entrepreneurship in achieving economic growth and empowerment, particularly among underserved populations, we're thrilled to welcome Bridge for Billions to the conversation.

Don't miss this chance to be part of a forward-thinking dialogue that will inspire you to tap into existing ecosystems that support entrepreneurs and small businesses. Also, we will unveil our new Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Incubator, offering you the chance to support emerging entrepreneurs and contribute to a more inclusive and equitable economic landscape!

It’s the final So You Want to Talk About… of the year so you know it’ll be a good one. Register today to be the first to know about this exciting work.

All Filene webinars are in Central Standard Time.
