MOMENTUM Accelerator
MOMENTUM is Community-Up's capital-readiness program — a cohort model that turns viable-but-unbankable small businesses into lender-ready enterprises. Each business leaves with a completed bankability matrix, a funding-readiness portfolio, and direct introductions to lenders and CDFIs.
- 29 small businesses completed the program across two cohorts (11 in 2024, 18 in 2025 — a 64% increase in enrollment)
HFC Entrepreneurship Hub / Money Moves Workshop Series
Community-Up helped launch Henry Ford College's Entrepreneurship Hub, designing and facilitating a three-part workshop series grounded in real lending experience — teaching entrepreneurs how businesses actually get funded, not just how to write a business plan.
- 65 total attendees across three workshops (Sell to Survive, Contracts & Cash, Scroll to Sold)
- 9.46/10 average likelihood to recommend the Hub to a friend
- Every core instructional measure (content quality, relevance, clarity) averaged above 4.0/5 across all sessions
- Funding/grants/lending access was the #1 topic participants asked to see more of
