BUILD Alumni 3C Funding is our micro-loan for BUILD Alumni. Loans range from $2,500 to $10,000, are set to 3% interest, and have 36 month terms. If year 1 and 2 payments are made on time year 3 repayments will be cleared by a BUILD Institute contribution grant.
BUILD Institute is excited to be a hub of Kiva, a 0% interest, crowdfunded microloan focused on character rather than credit, that provides entrepreneurs access to capital to grow their business.
Detroit SOUP is a micro-granting dinner celebrating and supporting creative projects in Detroit. Ideators pitch their ideas to a local crowd and take home all the money raised at the door.
