Seventy-three percent of capital in the U.S. flows into three square miles of California. That means there’s a huge opportunity for value investing in under-resourced communities around the country. This session looks at different types of capital, from micro-grants for social entrepreneurs, to loans for small business, to angel funding for startups, to the world of larger funds for scalable ventures. Seeking to move  beyond the “one size fits all” approach, this conversation also examines which situations require more funding, and which situations might be better served by other forms of capital, such as partnerships, training, or space.
