The Northwest Arkansas Kiva Hub at Startup Junkie in Fayetteville launched in December 2019, just months before the COVID-19 pandemic swept through Arkansas. In the last year, the hub has been able to help 30 local small business owners get a fully-funded loan through the Kiva crowdfunding platform. Several of those borrowers are using the capital to get through the pandemic.
