Our Team.

At Proffer ETA, we’re more than entrepreneurs—we’re system challengers, legacy builders, and community-rooted problem solvers. Our founding team came together with a shared belief: that small business ownership should be a tool for economic justice, not a privilege passed through exclusive networks. We built Proffer to address a glaring gap—too many retiring small business owners are closing up shop while capable, equity-deserving buyers are locked out of ownership. We believe that with the right supports, this isn’t just a missed opportunity—it’s solvable.

 

As a social purpose company, we’re committed to building an ecosystem that prioritizes impact alongside sustainability. That’s why our team blends experience in entrepreneurship, community finance, cooperative development, and tech for good. Every decision we make is grounded in how we can advance the quintuple bottom line: jobs, wealth, equity, community, and legacy.
