“I learned that I am an entrepreneur, I am a business owner, and I’m going to be very successful in this journey.”

As 2022 comes to an end, we wanted to celebrate a few highlights from the past year at RMMFI:

  • 71 entrepreneurs graduated from Business Launch Boot Camp in our Denver, Aurora, Spanish-Language, and San Luis Valley programs — bringing us to over 400 graduates since 2008.
  • We supported 245 entrepreneurs in total across Business Idea Lab, Business Launch Boot Camp, and the Thrive Business Accelerator.
  • $177,556 in loans and $18,000 in grants were invested in local small business owners.
  • Our growth continued with two new sites in Northeast and Southeast Colorado and the addition of 13 new positions to the RMMFI team.

By helping people and communities activate their potential, we are creating impact that will last through generations. Thank you for your ongoing support of inclusive entrepreneurship, and Happy New Year from all of us at RMMFI!
