Posted5 hours ago
Engagement: 1099 finder. Percentage of capital facility closed. Location: Remote.
A note from the founder
MBE-certified professional services firms are systematically underfunded.
Generalist lenders do not understand the MBE growth model. Generalist VCs do not write checks at the scale and structure MBE founders need. The capital exists. The connectors do not.
The Wilkinson Firm is a 14-month MBE-certified workforce strategy firm post-revenue, pre-scale. We need capital connectors who can introduce us to the SBA lenders, MBE-targeted capital programs, revenue-based financing partners, and CDFIs that actually fund firms like ours.
This is a finder's fee role with a clear climb. Mission-aligned starter percentage. Real upside as your introductions close.
What you would do

Introduce TWF to qualified capital sources across SBA 7(a), SBA 504, MBE-targeted lenders, CDFIs (Community Development Financial Institutions), revenue-based financing platforms, and state MBE capital programs

Position the introduction with context (no spam intros)

Coordinate the warm hand-off to TWF leadership

Track the introduction through to closed facility
