What Our Founders Say
"The Ethos Capital Up program transformed my business. Within 6 months of joining, we doubled our revenue and secured our first institutional investment. The coaching was invaluable - especially the financial modeling sessions."
Jamal Williams
Founder, Urban Greens
"As a female founder in tech, I often felt isolated. Ethos connected me with an incredible community of peers and mentors who truly understood my challenges. The investor introductions alone were worth the program."
Priya Patel
Founder, TechEquity
"The capital allowed us to scale, but the real game-changer was the operational support. We completely rebuilt our supply chain with Ethos's guidance, reducing costs by 22% while improving quality."
Maria Gonzalez
Founder, Artisan Collective
"Capital is important, but what changes the game is the combination of capital, knowledge and the right network. That's the trifecta that creates transformational businesses."
