Looking for an investor partner to support your growth without giving up control of your business?

We Can Help

Community-centric companies, especially those serving traditionally disinvested communities, often struggle to secure equity investments. This leaves them with limited options, like taking on debt or accepting extractive capital that benefits the investor more than the business.

We deliver a new approach. Momentus Capital’s investment offerings utilize a flexible, non-dilutive investment approach that targets for-profit, growth-stage companies owned by community-rooted entrepreneurs or who have a strong community presence.

An man in a blue suit and glasses stands confidently, representing community-focused businesses seeking equity investments.
