Bridging the Missing Middle
We're on a mission to help businesses break through the barriers that keep them from reaching their full potential.
The Problem We Saw
Only 5% of businesses ever reach $1 million in revenue. And just 1% make it to $10 million. This gap—what we call the "missing middle"—represents countless business owners with great ideas who lack the resources, connections, and capital to scale.
We knew there had to be a better way.
Compass
The platform
Our Solution
Capital Collective is an ecosystem dedicated to empowering business owners. Through intensive programs, mentorship, and community, we bridge the gap between ambitious founders and the resources they need to scale.
Compass is our digital platform—the operating system for capital readiness. It serves as your command center for company profiles, documentation, and compliance, making fundraising preparation systematic instead of chaotic.
