Entrepreneurs face barriers daily that drain their mental, emotional and financial well-being. Conversations begin with “I love what you’re doing”, and end with “No, I wish I could help, let me introduce you to someone”.90% of our entrepreneurs are building "small" companies, yet our infrastructure is made for scale-ups pursuing billion-dollar valuations.There's a mismatch in the marketplace, and founders building smaller businesses — no matter how great or profitable they may be — don’t have access to the same support. And, if those founders happen to be persons with disabilities, non-heterosexual, non-cisgender, immigrants or facing geographic, gender, age, racial or wealth barriers… they're even less likely. eQuo is changing that. We’re building the first matchmaking platform that connects small businesses with investors, capital, customers, and talent.With eQuo, entrepreneurs get access to the support they need to grow, while accredited and retail investors get access to great small businesses.Join us at https://www.equoshift.com/
