Imani Fund: Redefining the Lending Landscape
The Imani Fund takes a groundbreaking approach to lending, focusing on the strength of a business model and the founder’s ability to execute their vision, rather than relying solely on traditional credit metrics. Offering microloans ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, along with free technical assistance, the fund aims to support and uplift historically underestimated entrepreneurs on their path to success. Reflecting its name, Imani—which means “faith” in Swahili—the fund embodies trust and belief in the potential of these entrepreneurs.
