A History of Supporting Small Business
SOLOMON HESS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT was established by Bill Einstein and Gino Heilizer to provide institutional and individual investors with well managed CRA-eligible and Community Development focused investment funds. By providing liquidity in the SBA and USDA secondary markets, Solomon Hess supports the creation and/or retention of jobs. Since inception in 2004, Solomon Hess has supported the creation and/or retention of over 50,770 jobs in small businesses across the United States. Over 70% of these jobs are located in low- and moderate-income communities throughout the United States.
The firm is named in honor of Gino Heilizer’s grandfather, Solomon Hess. Mr. Hess owned a garment factory in Berlin that the Nazis confiscated in 1938 immediately following Kristallnacht. Mr. Hess spent the war years in hiding in Holland with his daughter, Judith Heilizer. Together, they emigrated to the United States in 1947.
