Funders
Tapping into our global network
We maintain relationships with a wide range of foundations, angel groups, VCs, and individuals funding innovative approaches to social change across the United States. We can be most helpful to funders seeking deeper connections with high-impact, early-stage ventures and other funding peers. When there’s mutual interest, we introduce our capital partners to ventures based on common stage, sector, location, and alignment of capital. Funders also receive monthly, concise updates about all ventures raising funds and new ventures we are working with—and are welcome to meet our ventures during programs. Oh, and there’s no cost to be a part of our network!
