There's More to Entrepreneurship Than Chasing Unicorns 🦄 The startup world tends to glorify unicorns, but what if your business is purposefully "wonky-shaped"? If you're: ✅ prioritising sustainable growth over explosive scaling ✅ sharing power and access in a meaningful way ✅ creating long-term impact rather than quick exits ✅ using profits to invest in your purpose ...then traditional VC funding might not be your perfect match! Incredible businesses like Sharetribe, Vyld, Faith In Nature, Patagonia and Library of Things show there are MANY paths to creating impact in business. For impact-driven organisations especially, fundraising requires a different, more considered approach. That's why we've designed our 7-week Alt Funding Cohort to help you: ↳ Discover diverse funding paths tailored to socially-driven businesses ↳ Build confidence in your fundraising approach ↳ Connect with a powerful peer network ↳ Save months of research time with structured, expert guidance 👉 Ready to design a funding journey that balances profit and purpose? Join our next Alt Funding School cohort. https://lnkd.in/ddgVXR8g (Our early bird doors close on Monday March 31st!|) What alternative funding approaches are you considering?

I can’t reccomend Considered Capital’s Alt Funding School enough. I was clueless when I started and learnt so much in such a short space of time. I was also connected to some amazing founders who I’m absolutely sure will change the world. Esme Verity knows all there is to know about funding for us zebras 🦓

This is really great! Would strongly recommend.
