 Are you a local Austin-area for-profit sustainable food company considering raising capital? Have you built the “triple bottom line” of people, planet, and profits into the DNA of your business, and now see opportunities to expand your impact in each of those areas?
Are you wondering how to raise money, and who to talk to? Are you concerned that only high-tech companies with super fast growth and plans for exit can raise capital? This seminar will present an overview of the fundraising process, in understandable language and with real life examples, from both a traditional investment and “impact investment” standpoint. While traditional investment requires “home-run” strategies, dramatic growth, and all efforts focused on eventually selling the business, in impact investing, “values” investors seek to fund sustainable companies with reasonable growth plans, the desire to reach attainable milestones and be profitable and cash-positive while doing good in the world, and maybe no desire to ever sell or “exit”. |
