Who We Work With

For companies building a business and an impact at once.

We work with social impact companies. For-profit organizations doing mission work, with a particular focus on social impact technology companies and organizations that create programs and distribute resources in communities.

These organizations live in two worlds at once. They operate like businesses, with revenue and growth to manage, while depending on the same systems nonprofits navigate, including government relationships, public funding, education and school partnerships, and community trust.

Most advisors understand one world or the other. We bring deep experience across government, higher education, public schools, and community engagement, the exact combination a social impact company needs and rarely finds in one partner.

What Working With Us Looks Like

What we help social impact companies do.

Every engagement is built to the company. Most draw from five areas where we work alongside the team.

01

Strategic Planning and Advisory

We help mission-driven companies navigate the dual demands of revenue and impact, building a strategy that holds both together and bringing experience earned working alongside founders, institutions, and the public sector.

  • Strategic planning for mission-driven, for-profit models
  • Honest diagnostic on strengths, opportunities, and direction
  • Operations consulting and efficiency improvement
  • Ongoing advisory support as the company grows
02

Programs and Community Impact

We help design and run programs that distribute resources and create measurable impact, often in partnership with government, schools, and community organizations, with the operational systems to deliver and measure them.

  • Program design and implementation
  • Partnerships with schools, universities, and agencies
  • Outcomes measurement and reporting
  • Program operations and delivery
03

Funding and Public Sector Strategy

Social impact companies can access grants, public contracts, and institutional funding that most businesses never pursue. We help you navigate those pathways alongside conventional revenue, drawing on deep public sector knowledge.

  • Grant writing and funder research
  • Government and public sector contracting
  • Education and institutional funding pathways
  • Fundraising and capital strategy
04

Community Engagement

We help companies get services and resources into the communities they serve. The reason we move quickly is the network, with working relationships across grassroots organizations, institutional partners, government, and community leaders.

  • Stakeholder strategy and coalition building
  • Community-based partner activation
  • Government and elected official engagement
  • Events, convenings, and communication that connects
05

Brand, Digital, and Technology

Social impact companies, especially in technology, are built on a modern stack. We build the brand, the digital presence, and the technology systems, with particular depth in AI integration and the kinds of systems we use to run our own firm.

  • Brand identity, voice, and visual systems
  • Website strategy, design direction, and build management
  • Custom AI integrations and workflow automation
  • Digital marketing, social media, email, and content
