Real Stories
Minneapolis/St. Paul Area Entrepreneurs We've Funded
The best way to understand what We Invest In You does is to hear it from the entrepreneurs who've lived it. Below are stories from business owners across the Greater Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area who came to us needing capital — and were able to get it without giving up control over their own company.
Founder & CEO, Skill Quest
Corbin Fonville
“We Invest In You has done more than just accelerate my business from an early stage with affordable capital. The mentoring I received from them quickly helped me operationalize parts of my business that I had no idea were sapping me of time and resources. When my business turned sharply upward and I needed additional cash they could have owned part of my company but instead they helped me secure the needed funds. I’d recommend working with We Invest In You to any entrepreneur who has some traction but wants more and needs capital to scale.”
Founder & CEO, M.Zoro
Michele Zoromski
“I am so lucky to be supported by We Invest In You. They are really invested in helping Minnesota companies succeed through financial and mentor support. They helped me to think strategically on my true needs, and provided a mentor who is helping me get back to stability and growth. A traditional lender would likely have turned me down, but We Invest In You listened and supported me with a $100k, 4%, interest only loan for three years, which was exactly what I needed along with great mentoring. I am grateful that We Invest In You invested in me and also other Minnesota companies.”
Founder & Owner, Bundl Home
Jay Sachetti
“Participating in the We Invest In You program has been a gamechanger for my entrepreneurial journey. The funding support came at a crucial time and gave me the runway I needed to grow with confidence. Just as valuable was the mentorship — genuine, experienced guidance from people who truly care about your success. They guided me to make difficult but correct decisions. The program’s structure helped me clarify my goals and build real momentum to where we’ve optimized our service offerings and grown to a staff of over 30 people. I’d highly recommend We Invest In You to any entrepreneur who’s committed to the grind but could use a boost from people who’ve been there.”
Founder & CEO, Nerd Herd
Ashlei Rolloff
“As a founder scaling a high-growth business, access to capital is only part of the equation—what “We Invest In You” offers goes far beyond the dollars. Their support has removed the cash flow stressors that used to weigh down my momentum and allowed me to make the kind of proactive investments in growth that position us for accelerated sales. Just as impactful, though, are the two exceptional mentors I now have in my corner—strategic thinkers who challenge me, support me, and help me think bigger every step of the way. I’m proud to have their backing and partnership as I scale.”
