Overview of the Coralus Venture program:

Founded in Canada in 2015, Coralus has expanded its footprint to include the US, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. The organization has circulated nearly $19 million to over 190 women and non-binary-led ventures, with 45% of these founders coming from chronically excluded racial and ethnic groups. The payback rate on its unsecured 0% interest loans is 95%, reflecting the success and responsibility of the ventures supported. Coralus emphasizes collective decision-making, with community members, known as Activators, participating in the selection of ventures to fund. This approach democratizes funding decisions and fosters a sense of shared purpose and community involvement.
