why we launched thriving cities
Safety is the foundation of a thriving city. Without it, businesses struggle, investment stalls, and neighborhoods cannot reach their full potential.
When a city feels secure, growth becomes possible. Storefronts open, jobs are created, and communities begin to thrive.
Local entrepreneurs drive 44% of the U.S. economy. Flock Safety and Homegrown launched the Thriving Cities Fund to help them continue to grow in the neighborhoods they call home.
If you're a proven brick-and-mortar entrepreneur seeking growth capital, we'd love to meet you.
“It is very difficult to get a traditional loan as a restaurant. The Homegrown team, I really connected with. They really seem to care about what they’re doing and growing the community.”
A Holistic Vision For Safer Communities
Safety creates A Ripple Effect Across Every Part Of City Life
A secure environment with less crime gives entrepreneurs confidence to grow, creates jobs, improves health outcomes, strengthens schools, and raises property values.
Growth Is What Transforms Safety Into Something Lasting
Thriving cities invest in small businesses, create spaces for connection, and support the entrepreneurs who bring neighborhoods to life. But too often, local business owners struggle to access the kind of flexible capital they need to grow.
Public-Private Collaboration Is Key To Being Better Together
The Thriving Cities Fund, comprised of Flock and Homegrown, is committed to being a true partner in working with every part of the community to build flourishing cities across America.
