Gabriela Campoverde: Connecting Communities with Capital

Gabriela: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Miren helps community lenders deploy capital into the most in-need neighborhoods across the US. Our clients serve small businesses and individuals who are typically turned away from banks given their lack of credit or credit-thin files. Miren provides software for clients to manage technical assistance, loan applications, programs, and loan portfolios. This means clients can help more people in their communities reach their funding goals faster and grow their businesses or buy their dream home.
