This is an extremely momentous day for the Ureeka team. While we have been steadily growing our community for the past few months, today we are kicking it into overdrive.

With financial commitments from investors who fully believe in our ability to deliver on our promise – to support 1 million small and mid-sized business owners and entrepreneurs nationwide – we are ready for the next level.

Ureeka was founded with the mission to create economic opportunity for Next Wave Entrepreneurs – the female and minority small and mid-sized business owners with the potential to drive massive growth and job creation nationwide. These are the businesses that cater to and represent a broader swath of the real America. But the reality is that it’s in Silicon Valley and similar tech hubs where the largest companies in the world increasingly own the critical secrets to business growth and capital access.

That small group of secret-wielding insiders doesn’t reflect those who will create the majority of new businesses in our country going forward. We founded Ureeka because we knew there was a better way to provide the business owners who will drive the economy forward access to those secrets.

Our team and the Ureeka Community have championed this mission from day one and with new investments, we are able to continue building our platform to reach an even broader group of Next Wave Entrepreneurs.

For those of you have been with us from the beginning, thank you for being a part of our community. We can’t wait for what’s next.
