Articles from Meriwether Group Capital

Meriwether Group Capital announced today that its flagship Hero Fund has been approved as an investment vehicle by the State of Oregon. The decision follows a comprehensive due diligence process led by Meketa Investment Group, one of the nation’s leading institutional investment consultants. The State has committed an initial investment of $3 million, with the option to increase that amount to $5 million over the next 12 months.

Newly-formed Meriwether Group Capital (MWGC) launched this month to make commercial loans available to businesses that fall outside the criteria required by traditional lenders. The MWGC Hero Fund focuses on small to mid-sized companies that meet the fund’s revenue qualifications and financial needs. The new lender operates in partnership with Meriwether Group, the 20-year Portland firm known for the accelerator and advisory services it has provided to companies like Voodoo Doughnuts, Dave’s Killer Bread, Stumptown Coffee, Alpenrose Dairy, and dozens of other well-known brands in the Pacific Northwest.
