We Re-Brand, Go National

1/18/2019

 
Picture
Today we launch our latest website, and with it broaden our geographical focus from Central Texas to the entire US; introduce "Advisory Services"; launch our Podcast; and launch the "Everyone Network".

We've expanded from "Austin Foodshed Investors" to simply "Foodshed Investors" as our experience helping sustainable food... 
... and farm entrepreneurs has grown, our capacity to handle deal-flow has increased, our investor base has become larger, and we've seen demand from around the country for funding and assistance to main-street and rural route high-impact food and ag businesses.

National Focus

Previously, we only (with a few exceptions) accepted funding applications from companies headquartered in Central Texas, and we only provided fundraising readiness and general business advisory services to companies that we were helping raise money.

Now, we're accepting funding applications from small local sustainable food and farm entrepreneurs around the country, with the condition that those requests for funding be what we call "funding-ready".

Advisory Services

For companies that aren't yet "funding-ready", we've packaged our proven methodology to create a compelling investor package into a servicing offering called "Fundraising Readiness".

For companies who aren't raising money but would like business consulting services, we're introducing fractionalized "Virtual Business Partner" services.

Both Fundraising Readiness and Virtual Business Partner services are offered on a simple monthly-retainer basis.

Everyone Network

Today we're also launching FI's Everyone Network, with deal flow and individual impact investing training, tips, and news for all adult US citizens, regardless of their income or net worth.

Podcast
We're also launching our new "Foodshed Investors Podcast" today, with guests and content available on-to-go from the world of mission-driven business, regenerative agriculture, the good-food movement, impact investing, fundraising, and localism.

What Isn't Changing
  • Our Mission to Increase the Supply of Good, Clean, Fair Local Food;
  • Our Vision to build a national syndicate of locally-focused sustainable food investing and advisory networks;
  • Our Qualification Criteria that starts with "business-for-good" impact and extends to ideas of reasonable growth and sensible fund raising;
  • Our Guiding Principles and Values, essentially unchanged since we conceptualized the business in 2014.
