Economic Empowerment
Access is
the Asset.
Juneteenth Weekend connects Black founders to real capital — not promises.
The Program
What is Capital Access Day?
Capital Access Day is the economic empowerment arm of Juneteenth Weekend DC — a structured, on-site opportunity for Black founders and small business owners to connect directly with capital.
On-site underwriters from multiple financial institutions will be present to review applications in real time. Approvals for debt capital, lines of credit, and SBA products are processed during the event — not weeks later.
This program is designed for founders with $500K–$1.5M in annual revenue, operating in industries like healthcare, e-commerce, manufacturing, media, and technology.
Different lenders work across Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian to maximize approval rates — so you are not limited to one credit bureau or one underwriting philosophy.
