The old systems are failing, so we’re building new ones.
For decades, The Enterprise Center has helped underestimated entrepreneurs gain access to capital, contracts, and resources. But today, traditional funding pipelines are collapsing, leaving too many businesses locked out. We're not waiting for the system to change. We're building a new one.
Starting with The Center For Capital Investment.
In consultation with McKinsey & Company, TEC is launching the Center for Capital Investment (CCI), a bold new model to unlock $1B in private capital by 2030. CCI prepares entrepreneurs to become capital-ready, connects capital to communities that have long been overlooked by markets, and sustains growth by building the infrastructure required for long-term, systemic change.
For more than three decades, TEC has helped underestimated entrepreneurs secure over $100M in capital and nearly $900M in contracts.
We are raising $15 million in catalytic capital to launch the Center for Capital Investment and build the systems needed to scale.
By 2030, CCI will unlock $1 billion in private capital, transforming how communities access opportunity and fueling lasting prosperity.
Unlocking Shared Prosperity.
With catalytic investment, the Center for Capital Investment will transform what’s possible for underestimated entrepreneurs and the communities they power. By 2030, CCI will unlock $1 billion in private capital, fueling the growth of more than 850 small businesses and generating over $30 million in annual EBITDA growth. This is not only about funding — it’s about building an engine for shared prosperity that endures.
This Only Happens When We Work Together.
The future of capital is being rewritten — and you can help shape it. Whether by supporting the work directly, staying informed about our progress, or diving deeper into the model, every action brings us closer to a more vibrant, equitable economy. Together, we can prove what’s possible when capital truly works for the people it was meant to serve.
