What is Fund Tennessee?

Fund Tennessee, launched in 2023, is $120 million in federal funding for Tennessee small businesses and entrepreneurs. It is part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s SSBCI (State Small Business and Credit Initiative) program. Fund Tennessee is comprised of InvestTN, the equity component; LendTN, the debt program; and AssistTN, for technical assistance. We believe Tennessee is better when its business community – across all 95 counties – is empowered to grow, create jobs, and transform communities.

Whether your business seeks equity investments, lending or technical business assistance, Fund Tennessee is here to provide equitable access to capital so your business can continue to succeed in The Volunteer State.
