CALLING ALL ENTREPRENEURS!

Join us at the next Business, Banking & Breakfast networking event, held the third Friday of each month from 8:00am – 9:00am at the Vista Bank Financial Literacy Center.

Path to Yes funnel

Quality Pond:

A financial ecosystem that creates a path to yes for entrepreneurs willing to put In the hard work.

Path to Yes is an educational program aimed at empowering entrepreneurs to scale and adequately capitalize their business. Offered in-person on a quarterly basis in the Vista Bank Financial Literacy Center in S. Dallas, industry banking and business experts teach workshops in four verticals including:

I. Business Ideation
II. Business Innovation
III. Funding Pre-Qualification
IV. Finance Exploration

Before starting the program, each interested registrant will take an assessment and receive a free consultation as to where they should start. Classes are offered once a week on weeknights and run for 4-6 consecutive weeks. Free of charge, your admission to the program is based on a proven work-ethic and desire to learn. Classes are robust and homework is assigned and required to graduate the program.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." - Lao Tzu

Program Expectations

We expect entrepreneurs going through the program to show up for class consistently, apply yourselves diligently, do the homework, and bring your best self to the program.

You can expect us to offer engaging classes that will help you grow your business with a focus on building the proper capital stack. Like college, graduating the program doesn’t guarantee your dream funding. In fact, based on a myriad of factors, Vista Bank may not be able to fund your business post graduation. But you can expect to have the information and documentation you need to be on a path to achieve funding – including referrals for micro grants, micro loans, and other lending institutions when Vista isn’t the right fit.

Take the Next Steps
