Capability profile
The Capital Collective as a community
Community overview
The Capital Collective was founded in 2024 by Emily Halpern and Tamika Tyson. It is based in Vienna, Virginia, and focuses on unlocking the potential of undercapitalized businesses, particularly in the Southern United States. The organization aims to drive economic growth by providing access to capital, networks, and expertise for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Community focus
The Capital Collective invests in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are typically overlooked by traditional funding sources. Their programs, such as 'Beyond the Middle' and 'Beyond the Million,' are designed to support businesses with revenues between $1 million and $10 million. The organization emphasizes the importance of bridging the gap for the 'Missing Middle' of businesses that have potential but lack access to necessary resources.
