RMMFI turns 15 today! Since 2008, we have grown from a single program in Denver to an organization supporting entrepreneurs across the state as they ideate, launch, and thrive in their businesses.

In 15 years, RMMFI has helped local entrepreneurs start or grow 470 businesses through nearly 60 cohorts of Business Launch Boot Camp. We’ve lent over $1.2 million and have disbursed more than $250,000 in grants. We’ve grown to a team of 36 and are supported by a community of over 300 active volunteers.
