Hey, everyone! Hope you're having a nice day. When it comes to financing and funding your business, we've seen stats showing that LGBTQ+ business owners on average dip into their own personal funds more than non-LGBTQ+ business owners. We’re working on a story for our newsletter about how business owners in the community work around this. Do you have a story about getting funding when you otherwise might have been denied, or tips on how you got creative to get the capital your business needs? Share your experience, advice, and words of encouragement in this thread! P.S. We may have a writer from our team reach out to have your story featured in our newsletter. If your response is chosen to be featured, someone from the Square Community team will contact you directly. ... View more
