Our goal is to build capacity in movements for more equitable, sustainable, and inclusive communities and economies.
We work with institutions and mission-driven organizations focused on cultivating entrepreneurial ecosystems, community food systems, ethical cacao and chocolate supply chains, and affordable housing. Our work is increasingly focused on food business incubation as a strategy for community economic development.

We strive to deliver the insight community leaders and social entrepreneurs need to move projects from idea to impact. Using an interdisciplinary perspective, we weave analysis into actionable plans that address evolving needs. Whether we’re working at the community or entity scale, we help clients vet possibilities, engage stakeholders, develop strategies, draft policies, improve management, and evaluate impact.
