Funding the Future

From seeding ideas to scaling technologies that solve global challenges, capital is a critical component to catalyzing and commercializing innovation.  Grants – including $750B of Federal dollars – are a unique, non-dilutive part of the capital stack that can play a powerful role in funding this work. Unfortunately, there are significant issues around efficiency, transparency, traceability and equity in the distribution of grant funds that result in a lot of waste and unrealized potential. Enter Sedale Turbovsky and the team at OpenGrants who are building a solution to efficiently connect funders to grant seekers, searchers to grants, and grant consultants to opportunities…and that’s just the beginning.  OpenGrants is also a part of the Growth Factory Accelerator. During this segment, Sedale shares a little about his company building and fundraising journey including the approach he's taking to engage a broad pool of investors and build community around his transformative work.Join Mark as he and Sedale dig into what OpenGrants is today and talk about the possibilities Sedale is working to create as he envisions the future.To learn more about Sedale and OpenGrants check out the links below:https://www.opengrants.io/https://twitter.com/opengrants_iohttps://www.facebook.com/opengrants.io/https://www.linkedin.com/in/sedaleturbovskyhttps://twitter.com/STurbovsky________________________________________________________________If this episode inspires you to be part of the movement, and you believe, like me, that entrepreneurs are the answer to our future, message me so we can join forces to support building truly great companies in our region. -Subscribe to my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCom_​...  -  Mark Haney is a serial entrepreneur that has experience growing companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
