Did you know there was a 675% growth of venture capital-stage investments into Arkansas companies in 2021? That’s according to the latest edition of the Arkansas Capital Scan report, which has even more exciting statics about the resiliency of Arkansas companies post-pandemic and a very encouraging outlook for the future. Arkansas Capital Corporation is proud to join many of our partners on the statewide advisory board for this ongoing, grassroots, data-driven project, led by the University of Arkansas’s Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Nearly all of us have our own histories of empowering entrepreneurs and small businesses with access to capital and other resources. We’re bringing those to the table as we work to continuously identify capital investors and use this data to not only attract more investors – but to also identify, address, and solve gaps in capital access.
