> The current financing landscape offers limited options for those aiming to establish lifestyle businesses in unpredictable markets.

Which isn't due to anyone's prejudice or greed, it's just math.

If a bank or fund is going to invest in something with merely lifestyle returns, it has to be extremely low-risk, like a corner pizza shop in a neighborhood without a pizza shop. High-risk and low returns is not something any sane outsider would ever invest in.

If something is high risk, it had better have a potentially high return to compensate.
