    SMALL BUSINESSES BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!To *******************, Executive Team, and Board Members:It is inconceivable that a financing company founded to empower underrepresented businesses whose mission statement reads Founders First Capital Partners provides access to the critical capital businesses need to unlock their economic potential would completely mislead two qualified Black Founders who have brought in millions of dollars in revenues over the past ten years, built an award-winning business with little to no help, and have checked every single box proposed by Founders First since engaging with you all in August 2023. Furthermore, it would be despicable for you to ultimately deny this underserved company the funding necessary to ultimately implement the practices that are taught by YOUR organization. Moreover, it would be laughable for such a denial to be applied toward a company that YOU awarded Best Pitch and whose Founder led her team to win YOUR ************************* challenge. Not to mention, since completing your program and winning your competitions, we have boasted several noteworthy business accomplishments which it seems your underwriters have either undermined or ignored. We have come to expect this treatment from the big banks, but never anticipated this from you.To not fund our company after we have done everything you asked of us and beyond is a sham.
