SoLo Funds: Lend & Borrow

3 days ago

Our founder @rodneybwilliams was featured in @fastcompany to discuss what our 2026 Cash Poor Report makes clear: being broke no longer has an income bracket. Nearly half of Americans are sitting on less than $200 in savings. Two-thirds say their finances are worse than they expected. And since our first report in 2023, the share of cash-poor Americans who couldn’t cover a surprise expense jumped nearly 17%. These are people working, budgeting, investing — doing everything right and still one flat tire from a crisis. Temporary financial stress isn’t temporary anymore. It’s the baseline.

The @GBEF_ returned to @essencefest this year for its public convention, three days of programming on the future of work, wealth, health, and democracy. @rodneybwilliams joined a panel called “The Reports We Cannot Ignore: Data, Power, and Economic Survival” 🖤 The conversation centered on how economic data gets read, who gets to interpret it, and what the numbers mean for communities that rarely see themselves reflected in the reporting. He shared the stage with Black Futures Lab’s Kristin Powell, moderator @Eugene_Scott of the Boston Globe, and Michael Franklin, the founder of Words Normalize Behavior. Different institutions, one question: what happens when the data and the lived reality don’t match.

What does it actually cost to borrow $200 when you’re cash poor? Depends on the door you walk through. We ran the numbers on every option: subprime cards, payday loans, bank loans, P2P. The gap is wild. Swipe 👉 For the full report visit https://t.co/3RmdTXgA1c

This Pride Month, we pulled five numbers on what the LGBTQ+ community pays to participate in the financial system. Nearly half of LGBTQ+ adults report being financially unwell, compared to about a quarter of the general public. Almost one in three say they've faced discrimination just trying to access financial services. The wage gap sits at roughly 90 cents on the dollar, and it's wider for trans, nonbinary, and BIPOC members of the community. Housing costs land harder too, with more LGBTQ+ households struggling to make payments than their peers. And discrimination in financial services didn't improve last year. It rose 7 points. SoLo Funds exists to close this gap. A community lending model, where members lend to and borrow from each other in small amounts, doesn't run anyone through a credit check or a loan officer who can turn them away. Every stat here is sourced on the slide. Swipe through.

The 2026 Cash Poor Report is here. More than half of Cash Poor Americans are women. Three in five are Millennials or Gen X. Forty-one percent hold a full-time job, and 1 in 5 of these households earns over $75,000 a year. The data makes one thing clear: financial instability is not a work ethic problem.

We did it again. SoLo NowCAST accurately predicted CPI two months in a row. Traditional financial data tells you what already happened — NowCAST tells you what comes next, using unique real-time consumer signals. @rodneybwilliams joined @FINTECHTVglobal to break it down.
