GET FUNDED
Capitalize Funding didn't start as a company with a polished mission statement. It started as a person who understood what it feels like to carry the weight of a business, the weight of timing, and the weight of responsibility, all at once.
This is the part nobody writes. So we did.
Twelve years of being in your corner.
Built with backbone and led with care.
From one small business to another.
Because every business has a story.
Our first investment wasn't in a stock or a bond. It was in a sibling.
Twelve years ago, while building the foundation for Capitalize Funding, our founder's baby sister was starting her own journey as a freelance artist. To support her first commission, she hired her to create our mascot.
She gave us Pigmo—the scrappy little pig that ended up meaning more than we expected.
Pigmo was the face of our very first website. He represented everything we were trying to build: a place where small business owners could find the support they needed to grow.
As we grew into a national firm, Pigmo "grew up" with us, into the more "professional" pig across our site today. But we keep his original 2014 portrait close by to remind us of our roots: supporting the big dreams of small businesses.
While building the foundation for Capitalize Funding, our founder hired her younger sister—a brand-new freelance artist — for her first paid commission: a mascot. Pigmo was born. Pink, scrappy, and on the home page of our very first website.
By the end of year one, we'd helped a hundred small businesses get funded — restaurants, salons, contractors, mechanics. The kind of operations the big banks wouldn't touch and the online lenders treated like spreadsheets.
We rebranded. The scrappy 2014 piggy got polished into the pig you see across our site now. But we kept his original portrait in our files—and in our office—as a reminder of where we came from.
Our phones didn't stop ringing. Our team didn't stop answering. We funded businesses through PPP gaps, through closed dining rooms, through everything. We didn't sleep much, but we didn't lose anyone either.
By this point, we'd seen enough to know the difference. Growth for the sake of growth doesn't build anything—it just makes mistakes bigger. We chose to build something that holds up instead.
We're female-founded, small by design, and still funding with heart. Because every business has a story—and the right funding at the right time can make all the difference in how that story plays out.
