The investment from Growth Impact Fund was instrumental in helping us strengthen our Board, laying the foundations for long-term growth and increased social impact. While the process was detailed and took time, the support we received throughout was thoughtful, clear, and aligned with our mission. We had free legal advice during negotiations, which safeguarded the founders and our social enterprise.
