Access to capital should not be the reason a promising business remains only an idea.

Our .0 participants gained invaluable insight from Lyndsae' Peele of Kiva about funding options designed to expand access for emerging entrepreneurs.

Kiva offers a powerful alternative to traditional bank financing, including crowdfunded business loans from $1,000 to $15,000 with 0% interest, no fees, no collateral, and no minimum credit score. Its social-underwriting model considers an entrepreneur’s character, business vision, and community support, making it an exceptional option for new business owners who may not qualify through conventional lenders.

At Entrepreneurship 10.0, participants do more than register a business. They gain access to experts, resources, strategies, and relationships that can help them build sustainable enterprises.

🚀 Our next cohort begins in September 2026!
Follow our page and complete the Entrepreneurship 10.0 interest form to be considered. It is time to turn your side hustle, skill, or idea into a legitimate Maryland business.
