Interested in Investing in the Fund?
We believe in a more diverse economy, driven by economic prosperity in Denver and Colorado’s communities of color. With greater access to capital and essential support services, we’re creating upward mobility for entrepreneurs who haven’t been given this opportunity historically. NCTF Denver is actively partnering with investors who share this vision and are ready to lead.
