Across the United States, economic growth keeps concentrating in communities already rich with capital, technology, and corporate networks—while the neighborhoods closest to that prosperity are too often left out. Prosperity Now's Road to Zero Wealth documents the deep, persistent wealth gaps this creates in historically disinvested communities, where small business owners and entrepreneurs face recurring barriers: limited access to growth capital, obstacles to ownership, and few pathways into the corporate and small business ecosystems driving local economies. Without intervention, these gaps only widen.
 

ResilNC exists to change that. Working alongside foundations, investment funds, economic development entities, and government partners at the local, state, and federal levels, we break down these barriers so entrepreneurs and small businesses in underserved communities can lead, innovate, and build lasting wealth—expanding access to capital, supporting ownership, and strengthening the pathways that make economic success genuinely inclusive.
