The economy is losing out on growth because fund managers from historically excluded demographics, especially women and BIPOC, face steep barriers, which include a lack of access to working capital and to resources and platforms that help their funds and their portfolios scale.

Despite strong track records, they struggle to secure funding for infrastructure, hiring, and startup costs. This cycle limits fund size, wealth creation, and broader economic innovation.

Equipped levels the playing field for fund managers by offering working capital loans and platform support across private equity (including venture capital), credit, real estate, and other asset classes.

These resources directly address the high costs of raising and managing capital, enabling experienced managers to scale and succeed. By supporting fund managers, Equipped fosters a more diverse and resilient economic ecosystem, paving the way to transform industry standards.
