Cadence Cash

The Cost of The American Dream is Much Higher for Some

Traditional business funding is fraught with challenges for historically marginalized entrepreneurs.

We’re Here For Change

The American Dream suggests we all have equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of our background or circumstances.

But the stats tell a wildly different story. Some of us face unreasonable and unjust hurdles.

That’s why we created Cadence Cash and Ask Angel™.

One simple mission guides our approach: break down financial barriers and level the playing field for undercapitalized business owners. 

With creative funding solutions, business coaching, and a strong community network, we’re working to change the story for good.

Driving Positive Change

Operating with purpose and intention, we develop financial tools and resources to enable widespread economic empowerment and help build a more equitable world.
