We are thrilled to highlight an upcoming milestone of SecondMuse Capital! Their Small Business Property Ownership Future Economy Lab, developed in partnership with Silver Lining, is set to bring a transformative property loan fund to life later this year. This initiative aims to bridge gaps in the current mortgage infrastructure, offering small business owners the support they need to grow. Tune in to this conversation with Carissa Reiniger, CEO and Founder of Small Biz Silver Lining, to get an inside look at the model before it goes live! #ImpactInvesting
Since 2022, SecondMuse Capital has partnered with Small Biz Silver Lining, with support from Wells Fargo, to tackle a crucial challenge faced by small business owners—access to property ownership. Through intensive working sessions with small business owners around the world, financial institutions, and stakeholders with varying experiences in mortgage products and property ownership, we've co-designed a one of a kind collective property ownership model. This model is unique: it puts the needs of small business owners first while remaining attractive to investors. With the official handoff complete, Silver Lining is set to pilot this innovative model with at least 10 properties. We're excited to see the positive impact this will have on small businesses, providing them with new opportunities for growth and stability. Check out Carissa Reiniger, Silver Lining's Founder and CEO, share a bit about her experience with the lab and what's next! #SmallBusiness #EconomicDevelopment #PropertyOwnership #FutureEconomyLab #SilverLining #SecondMuseCapital #Capital #venture #finance #SecondMuse
