__able is an investment fund focused on health & wellbeing. We aim to support passionate entrepreneurs building visionary brands in positive living that will make the daily lives of consumers healthier, happier and more meaningful.

We seek to partner with companies that are narrowing The Wellness Gap: the quantifiable delta that has grown dramatically over the past two decades as economic indicators such as GDP per capita have increased while measures of overall wellbeing, including physical and mental health, have stagnated or decreased. We are most focused on overlooked or stigmatized communities that have resulted in underserved markets.

Founded in 2016 by Tracy Killoren Chadwell as an early-stage venture capital firm, 1843 Capital focuses on AgeTech—technology for older adults and their caregivers, and longevity. We invest differently—valuing diverse founders and board members—and we engage differently, with capital, counsel, and connectivity.

1843 Capital was named for the year Ada Byron Lovelace is credited with writing the first computer program. As the only legitimate daughter of poet Lord Byron, Ada found poetry in numbers and is credited with recognizing the full potential of Charles Babbage’s analytical engine. At 1843 Capital we wonder: “what would have happened if Ada was funded.”

The 1863 Venture Fund I believes that by providing appropriately aligned capital to New Majority entrepreneurs, we can support individual, enterprise, and community wealth creation. To achieve this, the Fund leverages equity-like and revenue-based financing vehicles to expand access for New Majority entrepreneurs to a coherent and accessible investment continuum.

The 1863 Venture Fund I is committed to growth-oriented companies that lack access to traditional capital sources and desire an alternative to predatory debt financing. We are sector agnostic in our investments focusing on early-stage investments. Our check sizes range from $50k to $300k, and we provide highly engaged portfolio management support to our portfolio.

2045 ventures’ thesis is backed by data that shows that diverse founding teams return more capital to investors. Tech industry leadership positions us to find high-potential startups and connect them to resources. We draw on our experience investing in companies that have raised over $500 million from top investors.
Objective: we back startups led by immigrant, female, or underrepresented founders
Generalist: we focus on early-stage Climate-tech, Health-tech, and Fin-tech

3CORE is a private, nonprofit corporation that works as the economic development planning and coordinating agency for California’s Tri-County region, composed of Butte, Glenn and Tehama counties and the nine member cities located therein. We will help you secure your next small business loan. Our mission is to cultivate healthy businesses, because people matter.

3CORE manages multiple revolving loan funds to meet local financing needs. 3CORE loan proceeds may be used for any of the following: Working capital, purchasing land, buildings or existing businesses, purchasing furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment, business expansions or startups, leasehold improvements and lines of credit. 3CORE typically finances loans between $25,000 and $250,000. However, we will consider requests outside this range under certain circumstances. Loan terms are generally between three and seven years. Loan terms for purchasing land, buildings or businesses may be up to 15 years. Interest rates range between 6 and 10 percent dependent on market conditions. Most loan terms feature a fixed interest rate.

3CORE also has a Small Business Disaster Interruption Loan Program. This is not designed to compete with SBA Disaster Loan Programs, but will compliment those programs by filling potential lending gaps. Program includes business working capital loans in an amount between $10,000 and $100,000, depending on each business’s individual needs. Larger loan requests with alternate rates and terms may also be considered.

By listening intently and tailoring assistance to each specific business’ need, the Tri Counties Bank/3CORE Minority Owned Business Campaign will create a support network. Through mentorship, customized technical assistance engagements and strategic financial assistance, this program will ensure business growth and long-term success.

Our global flagship funds are the original series of funds that helped start it all. Our strategy has been to operate as an active and global early-stage investor. Once invested, we provide a network of mentors to founders that focus on growth marketing and digital distribution—intended to take their early traction metrics and improve them for subsequent financings and increase in valuation.

In order to generate high-volume deal flow, provide structured portfolio support, and build a strong brand in the startup world, we established our Seed Accelerator program. Over the past decade, we have refined our strategies and continue to invest across the globe in the world’s most promising founders.

Accessity is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution founded in 1994 that provides economic opportunity to entrepreneurs through access to small business loans from $300 to $100,000 and a community of support and resources in Southern California. Accessity’s mission is to open doors of financial opportunity to those with historically less access to capital and business support: entrepreneurs of color, women, immigrants, and low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs, so they can build prosperous businesses and livelihoods for themselves and their families, while also strengthening communities.

Small business owners uplift communities and anchor local economies, while creating opportunities for themselves, their families, their employees, and our neighborhoods. Yet entrepreneurs who are people of color, women, and immigrants often struggle to secure capital and resources, as they are systematically shut out from traditional financing. In 2020, Accion Opportunity Fund was formed as Accion U.S. Network and Opportunity Fund came together. Together, we fight for an inclusive and accessible financial system so small business owners of all identities can thrive.

At Accion Opportunity Fund we work closely with small business owners to provide them with fairly priced loans, educational resources, coaching, and support networks in English and Spanish. Opportunity Fund still remains the lending arm of Accion Opportunity Fund. Serves 45 states.

Early-stage startups often lack access to the capital and support they need to grow. Accion’s seed-stage investment initiative, Accion Venture Lab, provides financial and post-investment support to address these needs. Investing since 2012, and backed by third party commercial and impact investors since the launch of our fund in 2019, we typically invest U.S. $500,000 in seed-stage startups and can continue to support companies as they grow through follow-on capital that drives scale. Accion Venture Lab is an active and engaged investor, creating value in our portfolio by providing investees with strategic and operational support across a broad range of functional areas.

We look for startups that are leveraging new technologies, data, and analytical tools to acquire, engage, and serve previously underserved individuals and small businesses. We like innovative customer engagement models that blend tech and touch to create seamless user experiences. We are excited about new approaches that focus on financial health and building financial capabilities as they provide critical products and services to consumers.
