Values

We are a 40 person team that knows that we’re lucky to do what we do. We’re finance aficionados with considerable transactional experience who were fortunate to find a way to hopefully each leave a small, sustainable footprint on the social enterprise ecosystem. We’re fun investment bankers (no, it’s not an oxymoron) with big hearts who feel passionate about our commitments to our entrepreneurs, our clients, and our mission. Here’s what we value:

People

We wouldn’t be who we are or where we are today without our clients and the individuals they serve, our team, our Board Members, and our shareholders. We thrive on having fun while being able to work with passionate, inspiring individuals and entrepreneurs. We will continuously work to maintain and strengthen our enduring relationships with all the people we serve—our clients, our industry partners, our entrepreneurs, and our shareholders.

Impact

We are committed to mobilizing capital for businesses that deliver sustainable, scalable social impact. We see what we do as having the ability to elevate the base of the economic pyramid and to eliminate the poverty penalty.

Excellence

We hope it goes without saying but we want to reiterate our commitment to high- quality best-in-class work. We believe that there are no gray lines when it comes to integrity, transparency, and ethics. We also know that we don’t have all the answers and we realize the importance of humility.

Innovation

We know we’re in a game changing industry that has the ability to level the playing field and build an ecosystem that’s beneficial to all. We are constantly seeking solutions for our clients that enable access to capital to fuel their businesses and social impact. We envision a market that allocates capital taking into consideration its impact and not only risk and return.
