Weber State University’s Wildcat Micro Fund and the Alan E. Hall Center for Sales Excellence are partnering with U.S. Bank, the MarketStar Foundation and Suazo Business Center to grow and support the Latino/Hispanic entrepreneurial ecosystem.
First-generation American and entrepreneur Manni Martinez knows the value of programs like these firsthand. In February 2020, he received grant money and guidance from the Micro Fund to help him grow his business.
“The Micro Fund is more than just money,” he said. “It’s additional guidance and support.”

To date, the Micro Fund has provided 48 grant awards to entrepreneurs in northern Utah totaling approximately $70,000.
