About us
CNote gives corporations, institutions and individuals a simple, effective way to invest in under-resourced communities at scale. The women-led technology platform deploys corporate cash into loan funds and insured deposit products at impact-driven community financial institutions that advance economic equality, racial justice, gender equity and climate change initiatives. Corporate leaders including Apple, Mastercard, Patagonia, PayPal and Netflix use CNote’s platform to advance their diversity, equity and inclusion goals by authentically supporting low-income communities and communities of color. They earn returns comparable to what conventional products yield—while providing essential capital to minority depository institutions (MDIs), community development financial institutions (CDFIs), low-income designated (LID) credit unions and other impact finance organizations. Individuals can also invest through the platform to support an economy that works for everyone. CNote founders Catherine Berman, CEO, and Yuliya Tarasava, COO, launched CNote in 2016 with a mission to close the wealth gap through financial innovation. Based in Oakland, California, CNote is a Certified B Corporation and is GIIRS rated.
