🚀 We are excited to spotlight #DaintreeCapital in our inaugural book, Innovate® Washington - DMV edition - Powered By DC Startup Week. This book will have stories and perspectives from thought leaders, 100 top innovators, and emerging and legendary leaders from the DC, Maryland and VA area, all beautifully displayed in a premium hardcover book. Daintree Capital, founded by visionary Alisha Griffey, is not just an investment firm; it's a beacon of innovation and diversity in Washington, D.C. Daintree Capital's innovative approach to funding underrepresented founders has made a significant impact, with over 100 loans made and a less than 1% default rate. 💼 Their focus on working capital loans, smaller check sizes, and debt funding enables diverse businesses to grow at their own pace while retaining ownership. But Daintree's impact doesn't stop there. Alisha's unique fundraising approach, building an impact fund on a nonprofit platform, allows individuals to invest philanthropic dollars into diverse businesses. 🌱 This double-impact strategy not only grows charitable funds but also works towards closing the gender and racial wealth gap. Under Alisha's leadership, Daintree Capital is setting a new standard for diversity and innovation in the financial sector. As she aptly puts it, "It’s time for wholesale reinvention of how we fund small businesses." 🌐 Read the full article to learn more about Daintree Capital's inspiring journey: https://lnkd.in/dTDgnYGb #DaintreeCapital #Innovation #Diversity #Investment #WashingtonDC #DMV #Entrepreneurship #DCStartupWeek #InnovateDMV #CommunityBookProject #Entrepreneurship #Innovation Daniel Esterhuyse Dustin Canter Sven Boermeester Alisha Griffey Daintree Capital Inc.
