James Wahls’ Revolve Fund: Recoverable Grants and Equitable Capital
James Wahls, founder of the Revolve Fund, explains how recoverable grants expand capital access for marginalized entrepreneurs. Unlike loans or equity, they set impact or revenue milestones; repayment occurs only when goals are reached, with no penalties if funds were used as intended. Revolve pairs flexible dollars with wraparound supports—communications support, business acumen, access to different networks, etc.—to help navigate banks, CDFIs, and venture funds. Impact is measured as "strategic influence": co-investment, follow-on capital, and referral-driven wins. While based in Baltimore, Revolve works with grantees around the country including an expanded focus in Detroit, Wahls’s hometown of origin. Detroit grantee partners include Black Tech Saturdays, Invest Detroit Ventures, Black Leaders Detroit, College & Beyond and more. In this and other markets, Wahls advocates for thoughtful risk tolerance, cautions against exploitative capital, and emphasizes the contextual leadership of local philanthropy.

Wall Street Skips Tech and Goes Old School for Growth in 2026. AI-Generated.

The False Safety of FDIC Insurance
I was 17 when I first noticed the gap between what banking customers believe and what a financial institution can actually promise. It was 1981. I had a summer job in a regional bank that felt serious and orderly. The brochures around the lobby promised safety through a familiar phrase: “the security of FDIC insurance.” Customers repeated that line when they opened accounts. They treated it as a guarantee. Inside the employee lounge, the conversations carried a different tone. FDIC insurance was protection with limits, shaped by statutes, not a full shield.
