RPC Update

On Wednesday, October 8th, the **Rende Progress Capital \[RPC\] FY 2025 Q3 Pre-Loan Readiness Incubator Cohort** of special selected business owners concluded. The business owners---\_non-RPC loan customers\_---of Kent County diverse businesses completed their graduation of the six-week incubator designed to help entrepreneurs become loan-ready, with hands-on guidance, practical tools, and a $1,000 stipend for those who complete the program. The October 8th celebration event was located at Muse, an African American owned interactive art gallery and event space located in Grand Rapids, MI. The RPC team joined our cohort, and their family and friends, in celebrating their commitment to the program, hearing stories and presentations of their business growth, and knowledge gained in the details of RPC loan readiness. Concluding with the check presentation part of the event, we also valued presenting the well-earned stipend awards to the individual business cohort participants.
