Wyld Revolving Loan Fund
Cannabis Loan Fund for small businesses
Wyld’s loan fund seeks to support equity and inclusion in business ownership by providing capital specifically to historically excluded entrepreneurs. The project aims to disrupt the traditional flow of capital, which has historically favored certain demographics, and redirect it towards individuals and communities who have historically been marginalized and underrepresented in business ownership.
