The Elmseed Enterprise Fund is a nonprofit microcredit organization
based in New Haven, CT that enables aspiring entrepreneurs to launch
or expand promising small businesses. Elmseed provides motivated individuals,
many of whom have had trouble securing loans from traditional credit
sources, with access to small loans and technical assistance. By helping
individuals start or expand small businesses, Elmseed gives long-lasting
support to New Haven’s economic community.
Elmseed
has no credit history or collateral requirements. Instead, we utilize
a unique method of peer-lending,
a system based on borrower interdependency and support. Elmseed’s
lending model has attracted clients in diverse industries ranging
from food service to construction, from fashion design to event
planning.
