Please join us for a casual social and cash bar happy hour to connect with investors, businesses, practitioners, and other leaders that have participated in or are interested in the work of PAGE Capital, The Hurdle Fund, and - more broadly - connecting capital for racial justice and equity in the Greater Philadelphia region.
About PAGE Capital
The Economy League of Greater Philadelphia’s PAGE (Philadelphia Anchors for Growth & Equity) program leverages institutional purchasing power to help local and diverse firms create jobs and generational wealth in underserved communities. With support from an EDA ‘Build to Scale’ grant, The Economy League, ImpactPHL, and Investors Circle partnered to form PAGE Capital to connect diverse firms to values-aligned capital resources.
About the Hurdle Fund
A key initiative of PAGE Capital, The Hurdle Fund is a nimble grant program to eliminate small, low-cost hurdles - including insurance, equipment, certification, and more - in order to help local diverse firms win new or grow existing contracts with local institutions. In its first year, the Hurdle Fund deployed $125k to 6 diverse firms, unlocking $1,940,000+ in new revenue from contracts with ten regional institutions including University of Pennsylvania, SEPTA, IBX, CHOP, Temple University, and more.

“With the resources made available by the Economy League and the connections Drexel’s Supplier Inclusion program has with our local supplier base, PAGE’s innovative Hurdle Fund gave us the ability to support supplier development in a new and unprecedented way.”
