A huge thanks to @Annie_GoodFin @kingma2020 and @crowdfund360 for being so open, knowledgeable and approachable. Now on to the next one 🦓🤩
Had an informative and rip-roaring time at the first Zebra London in-person event last night on different funding options for impact start-ups. Thank you @thenotkat @oheycj @letapamir and @JonathanYSun1 for organising - can't wait for the next one😍
Thrilled for our @Zebras_Unite London event on all things #funding and #SocEnt with our brilliant experts and peers this evening @TheCanvasCafe, who are themselves a stellar example of business for good.

This is not representative of me or anyone I know in #Budapest. It is representative of a group who have been led to believe that xenophobia, hate and anger are what unites them and makes them strong. This is the vile rhetoric of @orbanviktor incarnate.
The fantastic Ms @oheycj, she is smart AND funny. Listen to her speak!

@orbanviktor will use @EURO2020 as excuse to embezzle millions more into #stadiums and #football academies, instead of spending on infrastructure.
Someone could have stuck it to him in the process. Shame on you @UEFA 🤦🏼♀️
A report on the economic impact of the pandemic on the cultural sector, penned by my brilliant colleagues at @BOP_Consulting @_marmore @Jonathan_Todd
A valuable resource for those looking to #fund #artsandculture

Looking for new data or trends in culture❓❓❓
Look no further -- @UNESCO’s latest reports on the impact of #COVID19 on the Culture Sector are available now: on.unesco.org/3vEcYGl #ShareCulture
Wonder whether this #vc funding in the #creativeindustries will follow the general trend of investing in white, male-led companies?
We desperately need #alternatives in #financing in a sector already dominated by the #privileged few, not the many.
VC funding in UK CreaTech is forecast to rise 25% by 2022, our new report reveals.
The research - commissioned by the CIC from @TechNation - also identifies in-demand employment skills in CreaTech.

An insightful, brilliant read on #innovative governance and raising #investment as a #socent. A powerful lesson from @embl_em and @libraryofthings on how to “decouple power from financial interest”.👏👏👏👏👏 @Zebras_Unite @BCorporation
How to raise funding when your purpose is greater than profit?
This was our challenge when we set out to raise £500k+ for social enterprise, @libraryofthings. And here's how we did it: em-shaw.medium.com/investing…

Yes! #transparency around pay is integral in driving #diversity, and puts employees in positions of power to hold their leadership accountable. #genderpaygap #showmethemoney
The Zebra model is also far more aligned with needs of creative startups. We need more advocacy in the culture and creative industries. @artsculturefin @UpstartCoLab @ace_national @CreativePEC

For all the noise about how we #BuildBackBetter, curious to see whether govs do actually take advantage of the right opportunities. @karaswisher and @MazzucatoM are GOLDEN! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
A strong condemnation of the state of the UK #impact economy. This is why the work of organisations such as @Zebras_Unite (and many others) is crucial in levelling the playing field for founders working towards a new economy. @EsmeVerity @downes_ford
