Mona Co-Founder Andrew Leon Hanna speaks at NAFSA 2025

May 29, 2025

We were honored to see our co-founder Andrew Leon Hanna speak at the NAFSA: Association of International Educators annual conference in San Diego. During a powerful plenary conversation moderated by Dr. Fanta Aw, Andrew shared Mona’s mission to uplift underbanked entrepreneurs by connecting them with mission-aligned capital and amplifying their voices in the financial system.

We're grateful to NAFSA for convening global changemakers who see the power of entrepreneurship to drive inclusion. As Mona grows, we’re excited to continue partnering with entrepreneur support organizations, mission-aligned lenders, and advocates to ensure every small business has the tools to thrive.
