She's a Kiva borrower in private funding right now, and she needs her community behind her to go public. 💚

Today, Kiva NWA had the opportunity to present to the 1 Million Cups community in Bentonville. We shared how Kiva works, the loan process, upcoming events, and the resources available to entrepreneurs and small business owners.

It was great connecting with founders, business leaders, and community members who are passionate about supporting local entrepreneurship. Our goal is to help more business owners access the capital and support they need to grow their businesses and turn their ideas into reality.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to strengthen Northwest Arkansas’ entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Meet Maggie.

For the past 14 years, she's helped people feel confident through the art of hair and personal grooming. Now, she's taking a leap of faith and building something of her own: The Mane Reset, a men's grooming studio focused on intentional service, relaxation, restoration, and confidence.

Many of her loyal clients have already chosen to follow her into this next chapter because of the trust and relationships she's built over the years.

Through Kiva, Maggie is raising funds for a professional head spa unit, upgraded equipment, furnishings, and retail inventory to create an elevated grooming experience for men across Northwest Arkansas.

Your loan can help a hardworking entrepreneur grow her business, support her family, and create a space where clients feel valued, refreshed, and cared for.

Every loan, no matter the size, makes a difference.

💚 Lend for as little as $25.

This is what the American dream looks like.

Megan is a veteran-focused, woman-owned small business owner fighting to build something meaningful right here in the USA. Her company, Silent Salute Fireworks, creates quieter fireworks designed for veterans with PTSD, families with special needs, and pet lovers.

She’s only a few lenders away from unlocking public funding on Kiva. Even a small loan can help a hardworking entrepreneur keep pushing forward.

Support a small American business. Support veterans. Support grit. 💥
