Learn to Speak the Language of Funders

Today's charities, deserving nonprofits and social impact organizations are focused on developing meaningful and innovative programs.

However, there is often a missing piece ~ building in financial sustainability to scale operations and impact.

Securing funding for innovative programs and activities requires a different mindset, approach and skillset. 

Our unique and evidence-based mentoring program, in partnership with Startup Investors Lab, prepares charities, deserving nonprofits and social impact organizations with the skills and approach necessary to build valuable relationships with funders, investors and community stakeholders.

It is also applicable for organizations which want to increase the involvement of their Board of Directors in fundraising activities - but are often reticent to do so.

​We invite you to join us - and support our important work.

Since I’ve worked with Randy, I have gained so much insight into how NGOs like mine can bridge the gap between my vision and activities advocating for women and better health outcomes - and speaking the language of funders who want to make a difference.

andy is an incredible mentor, and his commitment to helping me succeed is very motivating and inspiring.

​I’ve become more confident - and even though I am the founder of an NGO, I now see that I can be entrepreneurial too!

Through my collaboration with Randy, I’m learning the true importance of being investor-ready. By embracing the proven method of customer discovery, I’ve had many “Eureka” moments!

"You taught me how to see things completely differently."

Dr. Nimzing Ladep, a liver doctor and chronic disease specialist with the NHS, developed an app to educate and measure adherence to medications. He was originally focused on technology push vs. a customer centric approach to product development and seeking investment. 

He learned how to apply customer discovery to his activities, by employing a greater sense of curiosity and empathy. His learning led to new insights and opportunities with his app, as well as for healthcare consulting expertise for projects in the UK and Africa.
