Elli Papadopoulos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A mission-driven entrepreneur with deep experience in small business strategy and finance, and the driving force behind Skopos.  After spending seven years working with the Grow America Fund to underwrite and manage a multimillion dollar commercial loan portfolio at the height of the recession, she grew tired of declining small business loan requests due to inadequate financials, lack of clear planning and limited cash flow.  Elli started Skopos to work with business owners on the other side of the table, advising them on the financial issues that prevent them from operating smoothly, accessing financing and communicating their growth plans.  Her expertise with financial planning, project planning and capital resources has helped dozens of manufacturing, creative and food businesses bring ideas to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
