Breaking Barriers to Financial Inclusion: A Reality Check

Whatever Happened to #FinancialInclusion?

Let’s be blunt. If you’re an immigrant or a diverse founder trying to make it in a new market, you’re not just battling the usual startup hurdles. You’re also dealing with a whole host of barriers that are uniquely designed to keep you out. Welcome to the club. The club where financial inclusion is talked about a lot but delivered rarely.

Here’s the cold, hard truth: #FinancialInclusion is a myth until we address the systemic hurdles that keep diverse founders from accessing capital.

Let's break it down.

Local Revenue Myopia: The Global Growth Killer

You’re running a global business, raking in millions across borders. But when you go for capital, the conversation grinds to a halt unless those millions are rolling in from the local market. Your success elsewhere? Irrelevant.

But haven't you seen the millions booked over here???

This local revenue myopia is frustrating and a direct barrier to scaling your company and accelerating your impact.

Limited Networks, Limited Opportunities

Let’s get real—if you’re not local, you’re on the outside looking in. Building the right connections and accessing the right networks are all a far cry from what the locals enjoy. Without these networks, securing the capital and resources you need feels like trying to run a marathon in quicksand.

But here’s the kicker—it doesn’t have to be this way.

Equity for Access: The Absurd Cost of Capital

So, you’ve hustled for years, pulling 96-hour weeks, taking on all the risk. And now, when it’s time to scale, you’re told to hand over a controlling chunk of your company just to get a seat at the table. We’re talking up to 50% in the US or 30% in Singapore. Seriously? After all that blood, sweat, and ramen noodles, you’re supposed to hand over the keys to a “local” director just to get funding?

This isn’t just a heavy price; it’s an extortionate toll on your vision and your hard work. Why should your dream come at the cost of your control?
