I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma with my dad and stepmom. I faced a lot of challenges along the way - most of them caused by my parents. Once I became an adult and moved away, many of the adults who were family friends repeatedly told us that they knew what was going on when I was a child. From that point on, I made a vow to help youth who were facing adversity or struggling in life. My mission is to make a difference in a child's life or help parents who struggle to parent

Dominique Brun is an Entrepreneur, Founder, Business Capital Coach Expert and Speaker. Specializing in helping underserved small businesses grow and sustain, Dominique is a passionate advocate for women. Women have often faced bias and historically been shut out of financing. In 2021, she saw a common problem emerge after watching countless women struggle to attain significant financing to grow their businesses. Predatory loans and overleveraging personal funds were one of the many issues holding these entrepreneurs back. Multiple short terms loans taking daily payments were killing businesses. Not to mention, the thousands of women owned enterprises not being referred to other sources once denied by their banks. Dominique knew she had to do something. It was then she began her mission to make financial resources accessible and available to Founders, leveling the playing field, despite background, industry, geography or gender. Dominique went on to build DominoFX Group, an online platform that helps underserved female founders establish a foundation, then access the best small business financing by matching these Founders to Funders, even if they've been denied by traditional banks. Along with the community, The Domino Effect, the platform was created to coach and guide female founders in business with strategic steps and a clear pathway to funding, while saving their most valuable resource – time. Our mission is big, bold and attainable. To provide $25M in funding by end of 2025. In my experience, people have a lot of questions about business credit and lending. It’s sad, but true. Banks love to beat up business owners when it comes to getting business loans. Maybe you’ve been rejected. Maybe you don’t even want to try because you know you’ll be rejected. Fortunately, there are alternatives. And that’s a good thing Dominique wants to share with the world. Guided by the principles of The Domino Effect, which illustrates small steps and actions can trigger significant outcomes - Dominique believes through this education, it will create a ripple effect of positive change in the economy and for wealth creation and ownership amongst women, their families and communities. Dominique is a disruptor and compelling leader who champions the financial empowerment of women while also providing opportunities to build financial independence and clarity. “I strongly believe that, for society to change, access to resources much change. I want to remind people of the power small business has in this economy and change the entrepreneurial ecosystem by bridging the gap and creating new ways of accessing capital.
