Founders First CDC Announces Micro Investments for Veteran Entrepreneurs

Founders First CDC (Founders First), a 501(c)3 non-profit that empowers expansion and job creation in diverse founder-led, revenue-generating businesses, announced its 2021 Steve Fund, a grant program to support U.S. veteran business owners.

The Steve Fund makes micro-investments in veterans who are running small businesses. The award, which will be granted prior to Veterans’ Day, was inspired by Founder’s First CEO Kim Folsom’s brother, US Navy veteran Steven Tadlock. The $25,000 fund will make its first investments in 50 veterans who are running employer-based small businesses.

There are over 2.5 million veteran majority-owned businesses in the U.S., according to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau’s survey of small business owners. In the same report, the SBA reported veteran owned small businesses employ more than 5 million people in the U.S., generate revenue of $1.14 trillion, and an annual payroll of $195 billion.

The judging committee for the Steve Grant includes a panel of distinguished veterans representing multiple branches of service, with regional lead judges including:

Northern U.S.: Retired President, Army and Navy Academy, Retired U.S. Army General Art Bartell

Eastern U.S.: Senior Vice President of Military and Government Affairs at National University System, Former U.S. Navy LT Cmdr Kimberly  Mitchell

Western U.S.: Deputy, Chief Transformation Office, National University System, Retired U.S. Marine Retired Sergeant Major Chermaine Harrell

Southern U.S.: Director of Entrepreneurship & Small Business, BCL of Texas, Former U.S. Airforce Staff Sergeant Brian Marshall

“The armed forces is a melting pot of diverse people called to serve something greater than themselves. That diversity, drive and commitment translates to dedicated entrepreneurship for many veterans, and programs like this help support veteran business owners around the country,” said Senior Vice President of Military and Government Affairs at National University System, Former U.S. Navy veteran, LT Cmdr Kimberly Mitchell.

Applications are now open and will close on Oct. 29, 2021. Businesses must have a U.S. military veteran CEO, president or owner.

“Veteran-owned businesses are a critical contributor to the small businesses community,” says Kim Folsom, Founder of Founders First CDC. “Our mission is to provide the funding, know-how and social capital to help diverse-led companies grow to $5M+ revenue, create premium-wage jobs and economic impact in their communities. We are launching the Steve Fund this year in honor of my brother, who was a veteran and avid supporter of veteran-owned businesses.”
