This is content I and our team would have needed to teach and coach individually for all of our ventures. Now we have a tool that lets the entrepreneurs have access when they need it, how they need it, and in the time and location that is right for them!
Suzanne Biegel, Investment Director, SPRING Accelerator, London
This is the most user-friendly investment preparation tool I have used. So many accelerators make this part too complicated, and I give up. Yours is the best, really!

My experience with the Smart Impact Capital training was amazing, honestly. It was broken down in a very simple way that was very easy to follow, with well-defined outcomes.

Wonder why this platform is seeing such traction? Because it is damn good. If you're a #socent entrepreneur, you owe it to yourself to dig in.

As a mentor, I feel the Smart Impact Capital content is a goldmine. The quality of the content as well as relevance of the tools for fundraising is impressive and spot-on!
Abdullah Saqib, Country Manager for Bangladesh and Pakistan, Viamo, and mentor to MIT D Lab Entrepreneurs, Islamabad
Developing a funding strategy and getting into the mind of various types of funders to be able to interact with them in the most effective way possible is the number #1 competency our business students are eager to develop. Smart Impact Capital is doing a great job of guiding our early stage social entrepreneurs to the funding landscape available to them!
Bernadette Clavier, Executive Director, Center for Social Innovation, Stanford Graduate School of Business
Better tools to take to our leadership team to upgrade our language and approach, strategy, and communication to investors in our deck and business model. Revolutionary!

We provided CASE's Smart Impact tools to our previous two cohorts of Cordes Fellows at the Opportunity Collaboration and received incredible feedback on how helpful they’ve been. We're excited to have Cathy Clark join us at the next OC to introduce this valuable resource to our incoming class of Cordes Fellows.
