I grew up around entrepreneurs, so when I see that 433,000 Native-owned businesses generate $86 billion in revenue, I see the people, ideas, and the immense resilience behind those numbers. I also know how much can happen between a founder’s first sale and their first hire. Growth takes capital, relationships, and support that fit the business they’re building. Too often, those pieces are hard to access at the right time. That’s the gap we’re working to address at 1st Sovereign Capital. We know what’s possible when founders have capital paired with the relationships and support they need to grow. ✨
433,000 Native-owned businesses. $86 billion in revenue. And 87% have no employees beyond the owner. That number isn't about ambition. It's about what's missing between a founder's first sale and their first hire: the capital, relationships, and infrastructure that help a business scale.

thank you. As my heritage is partly indigenous American, I appreciate folks who work hard to demonstrate competency as you ALWAYS do...I do not need someone to make a big deal of my heritage. I am a very competent woman! Have a great day, Nicole...
