They took the time to truly understand my mission and helped translate my community impact into compelling, funder-ready narratives that felt authentic and differentiated. Their guidance went well beyond drafting applications and it felt like having a strategic advisor in my corner who was invested in my long-term success.

Andrew and Anny are great to work with the have been helpful with the resources they provide . I highly recommend them.

Anny and Andrew are a power couple empowering small businesses. Their drive for this mission originates from their mutual back stories of coming from hard working immigrant parents. Our business was fortunate enough to connect with them through MADEINNYC and we have now submitted two impeccably drafted grants with their assistance. We have been duly impressed with their level of professionalism and attention to detail and we look forward to pursuing other funding opportunities with them soon!

My experience with Mona has been genuinely excellent. What stands out most is that this is not just capital... it’s founder-aligned support designed for people actually building businesses, not just pitching decks.

The process was clear, respectful, and efficient, with strong communication throughout. Mona’s team understands the realities of early-stage operators: cash flow timing, execution risk, and the need for flexibility without predatory terms. The platform and guidance feel intentionally built for founders who are mission-driven and serious about long-term sustainability.

What I appreciated most is that Mona treats founders like partners, not numbers. There’s a strong emphasis on impact, transparency, and responsible growth, which is rare in alternative financing. I would absolutely recommend Mona to founders looking for non-dilutive capital paired with thoughtful support.

Mona Ventures played a pivotal role in helping me secure funding for my Kiva loan, and I’m deeply grateful for their support. As a mission-driven founder building a clean beauty brand rooted in health education, faith, and community, having Mona Ventures believe in my vision meant everything.

Because of their support, I’m now able to take my business to the next level and reach more women with non-toxic solutions that truly honor their health. Mona Ventures doesn’t just support businesses — they champion purpose, impact, and people. Thank you for all you do!

Mona has been an invaluable partner as I navigated grants, loans, and alternative funding for my food manufacturing business.

The team is proactive, highly organized, and genuinely understands how founders operate under real constraints. They didn’t just surface opportunities — they drafted high-quality applications, kept me on track with deadlines, and helped me prioritize efforts that actually made sense for my stage.

In a short period of time, Mona supported multiple grant applications, helped with Kiva, and provided clear guidance on next steps across different funding paths. Their communication was excellent throughout, and they were thoughtful about tailoring everything to my business rather than using templates.

If you’re a founder who doesn’t have endless time but wants to pursue non-dilutive capital the right way, Mona is absolutely worth it.

Mona has truly been a game changer for my company. Applying for grants used to feel overwhelming, almost like a part-time job. Since becoming a Mona member, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Anny and Andrew have been incredible; each month, they source relevant grants and prepare a draft of the application on my behalf. I highly recommend Mona to anyone who wants to pursue grant opportunities but doesn’t have the time to manage the process themselves.

The Mona team has been helpful, attentive and provide great guidance on opportunites that match my businesses.

I discovered Mona through a Mona–JSEB workshop a few months ago, and I’m so glad I attended. Shortly after the meeting, I received personalized funding options that were truly a great fit for my business. I stayed in touch and was excited to subscribe to the Mona Funding Assistance Service.
Anny and Andrew are truly the best!!! Their communication is quick, thoughtful, and always personalized, and you can genuinely see the passion they have for their work. I really appreciate the individual attention they give my business and am incredibly thankful that I took a chance and attended the initial workshop.

The team is very responsive and are always cc'd in all communication so it's amazing and also reassuring to get such a quick reply from someone from the team. In addition, they are expert guides who navigate me through what can be an overwhelming and nerve wracking process of completing grant applications. I am highly pleased with their support and attentiveness to my grant needs by finding relevant grants for which to apply.

I was introduced to Mona through the University of Chicago, and it has been one of the most supportive and impactful experiences for my business. As the founder of TL IT Solutions, I’ve received personalized help with grant applications, funding guidance, and overall strategic support.
The Mona team truly listens and understands small business challenges. Every interaction has been thoughtful, professional, and empowering. They’ve helped me communicate my vision more clearly and pursue funding opportunities I wouldn’t have tackled alone.
I’m incredibly grateful for their continued partnership and highly recommend Mona to any entrepreneur looking for hands-on, mission-driven support.
