Schedule an Exploratory ConversationBuilt for organisations and the institutions backing them.
From mission-driven organisations doing the work on the ground, to the funds and foundations backing them.
Three questions every organisation is asking. Three ways the work shows up.
Each pillar is a clear answer to one of the questions on your team's whiteboard right now. Each one is built on Heart + Strategy.
"Where are we going next, and how do we fund it?"
For organisations defining where they are heading, how they will get there, and how they will fund the journey. Strategy that holds when the assumptions get tested.

agriBORA · Kenya's first privately owned warehouse receipt system.
Strategic advisory work with agriBORA through the launch of agriGHALA, the first privately owned warehouse receipt system in Kenya. The launch convening brought together the Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry, the International Finance Corporation, and smallholder farmers from the Kuona Mbele Cooperative.
Land a complex launch.
A new financial infrastructure for smallholder farmers, supported by IFC, regulated under the Ministry of Trade. The launch needed to land with farmers, regulators and capital partners in one room.
Strategic advisory through the launch.
Convening design, panel curation, narrative framing. Moderation of the launch panel that brought the ecosystem together publicly for the first time.
An ecosystem in the same room.
The launch put the Ministry, the IFC, the founder team and the farmer cooperative on the same stage. The kind of alignment that takes years usually. Captured in one convening.
Four steps from first call to first cohort.
Tight, low-pressure, designed to figure out if there is a fit before either of us commits.
