Your real odds
WEALF has funded over 120 businesses and deployed more than $1,000,000 in loans to date, so the program has real volume behind it.
Rolling intake keeps the door open, but the program is limited to the NYC metro area, and competition is genuine even without traditional credit requirements pulling more founders into the eligible pool.
