United Bank of Philadelphia & Drexel University Collaboration:
Empowering Local Entrepreneurs
United Bank of Philadelphia and Drexel University first launched The Starting Five Grant in 2024 to provide critical funding and support to small businesses in our community. This year, we’re excited to expand our impact with the addition of Fiserv as a partner, further strengthening our commitment to local entrepreneurs. Through this collaboration, we’re increasing access to capital, education, and mentorship—giving small business owners the tools they need to thrive.
In 2025, we are proud to recognize the United Bank of Philadelphia x Drexel University Small Business Grant recipients—five outstanding businesses that exemplify innovation, resilience, and community impact. Each of these businesses represents the entrepreneurial spirit that fuels our city's progress:
At United Bank of Philadelphia, we believe in the power of partnerships. By working alongside Drexel University, and including Fiserv, we remain committed to strengthening our community, one business at a time. Our collaboration is rooted in a shared vision of uplifting small businesses and creating lasting economic impact. By providing financial support and resources to these promising ventures, we are investing in the growth of Philadelphia’s business ecosystem and paving the way for future generations of entrepreneurs.
