Funding Your Social Enterprise from Day One
Kate Danaher, RSF Social Finance
Are you an entrepreneur trying to build a company with values, integrity, and mission? Why does it matter how you capitalize your company (boot-strap, venture, debt, self-funded)? And why does it matter where that money comes from? Hear from successful social entrepreneur leaders on their financing experiences from start-up to present day. They’ll discuss the challenges and successful steps that got them to where they are today.
