Capital Generation
Capital generation may come from a crowd-sourced sale of equity, an offering of debt, or revenue-based financing (from accredited or unaccredited investors); the pre-sale of products; investment in funds or projects; or, for some nonprofits, donations.

To grow our business I saw a myriad of new, alternative financing strategies as compelling options but needed help to determine what was best for us and how to maximize my investment in such an approach.

I knew our accelerator delivered value to our portfolio companies but wrestled with how to leverage our brand and network better to help our companies raise more capital and generate greater momentum.

While we want to make loans to social impact ventures, finding bankable deals is challenging, and we needed to develop innovative strategies to develop our own lending opportunities.

Just because we are a nonprofit did not mean that sustainable funding mechanisms were not important, but how best to tap for-profit investment strategies to support our mission remained a mystery.
