Capital Circles is a program of the Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership (IFEL) designed to bring together investors, champions, ecosystem builders, and advocates (collectively “changemakers”) who are committed to expanding access to capital and opportunities for more entrepreneurs. Through intentional relationship-building and shared learning, Capital Circles works to strengthen relationship connectivity, mobilize resources, and drive access by leveraging the power of community-based collaboration.
