Join the growing community of heart-centered entrepreneurs who are raising funding from values-aligned investors.

This six-month educational course designed to help you create your fundraising strategy, supplemented with group calls with our team of lawyers, coaches, and fundraising experts to answer your questions along the way.

AN INVITATION TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS ON YOUR OWN TERMS

This program is the result of over 25 years of working with hundreds of social entrepreneurs at every stage of growth and in diverse industries from retail to tech.

Unfortunately, finding the right funding can be a challenge for highly mission driven entrepreneurs for whom mainstream startup funding models aren’t a good fit.

But at The Kassan Group we have discovered that with the right strategies, tools, and support, it is possible to raise the funding you need on terms that are right for you.

We would love to support you in finding the right funding for your business.

Our six-step process gives you the tools and knowledge you need to create a customized fundraising strategy based on your unique strengths and gifts.

You’ll find all the details below. We look forward to seeing you in the program!

In appreciation,

The Kassan Group team

What is

“CAPITAL ON YOUR TERMS”?

“Capital on Your Terms” represents a growing movement of conscious entrepreneurs who are committed to raising investment in a way that allows them to stay true to their mission, goals, and values.

For decades, entrepreneurs have even been told if you can’t be the next “unicorn” tech startup and capture hundreds of millions of dollars in market share within the next few years, don’t bother trying to raise money.

“Capital on Your Terms” is a completely different approach to funding your business. It starts with the knowledge that investors are diverse and that you don’t have to sacrifice what’s important to you to attract investment dollars. There are plenty of investors out there who will be attracted to your unique value proposition.

The Capital on Your Terms approach puts you in charge of your fundraising and helps you raise the funds you need from investors that support your unique goals, values, and mission.
