In 2019, Kumar and his cofounders formed Shoegaro [a Miller Center graduate] to sell artisan-made footwear online and create a bigger and more efficient market for those goods. To that end, they cultivated relationships with the husbands of female artisans, building a level of trust to the point where they could start working with those women directly and introduce new basic equipment. https://bit.ly/47NgfIk

Are traditional VC models misaligned with impact-focused startups? Many say yes. Join us at #SOCAP24 for our interactive workshop as we dive into innovative financing tools like concessionary loans, recoverable grants, and venture philanthropy – designed to close the $1.1 trillion funding gap for social enterprises. Let’s challenge the myth that you can have it all without trade-offs. Together with Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship, we’ll explore catalytic funding to shape the future of impact investing.
