Investing in Women, Strengthening Communities: The Power of Partnership with Texas Capital
At JUST, we know that capital alone isn’t enough—women entrepreneurs need community, coaching, and ongoing support to thrive. Thanks to Texas Capital’s investment in our GROW program, we’ve been able to provide all of this and more to Black and Latina business owners in Austin. Through their ongoing support, we launched the GROW community platform, a digital hub where women connect with mentors, peer coaches, and business resources to formalize and expand their businesses.
This investment has already supported hundreds of entrepreneurs, giving them access to financial tools and networks that were previously out of reach. Beyond individual success stories, Texas Capital’s support has fueled a movement. JUST’s Monthly Growth Gatherings, held across Texas, have become dynamic, peer-driven events where our clients come together to share experiences, gain business insights, and build the relationships they need to grow. These gatherings create a supportive space for women to learn from one another, hear from guest speakers, and access financial education tailored to their needs. Whether discussing cash flow management, marketing strategies, or loan readiness, the sessions are highly interactive and immediately useful.
One entrepreneur who has participated in the Growth Gatherings shared, "In February, I will celebrate one year of knowing JUST, and I am very grateful for all the good that has come into my life. They have truly given me hope—the hope of fulfilling my dreams returned to me. I felt like I had already lost my way and JUST came into my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the trust and support you have given me."
Ashley Phillips, VP of Development at JUST, emphasized the importance of this collaboration: “Texas Capital understands that economic opportunity starts with trust. Their investment in JUST isn’t just about funding—it’s about ensuring women entrepreneurs have access to the networks, knowledge, and financial tools they need to build long-term stability.”
Texas Capital is committed to breaking down economic barriers and expanding access to financial opportunities.
“Supporting organizations like JUST aligns with our mission to foster economic growth in underrepresented communities,” said Barbra Boeta of Texas Capital. “By investing in women entrepreneurs, we are investing in stronger families, stronger businesses and a stronger Texas.”
Women in the GROW program consistently share stories of transformation. Many began their journeys without formalized businesses or access to traditional capital. Today, they have structured business plans, improved credit scores, and the confidence to pursue larger financial opportunities. Texas Capital’s investment is doing more than supporting small businesses—it’s fueling dreams, creating generational wealth, and shaping a more equitable economy for Texas.
Together, JUST and Texas Capital are proving that when we invest in women, we invest in the future.
