In this episode of Be & Think in the House of Trust, I am listening to Esme Verity, the founder of Considered Capital, a platform for startups and organisations seeking alternative funding. Considered Capital simplifies and speeds up the journey to finding and accessing the right funding fit through courses, community and content.She is an active angel investor and was named one of the Top 100 Women in Social Enterprise by Pioneers Post.   Esme and I discuss how to be authentic and practical when supporting founders raising mission-aligned funding. We talk about the importance of building genuine relationships, finding collaborators, and creating a platform that provides information and support for founders looking to make a meaningful impact. Verity also shares her journey of discovering the concept of "zebras" (as opposed to unicorns) and how it has influenced her approach to funding. Highlights from this episode: (01:45) What brings you joy?  (06:45) How to show up and dazzle  (11:35) Connecting with like-minded problem-solvers  (15:22) Tackling the impossible (19:53) No place for fear  Useful Links: Find Esme on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/esme-verity-33213183/Considered Capital https://www.consideredcapital.io/Zebras Unite  https://zebrasunite.coop/Connect with Servane:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/servanemouazan/ Website: https://servanemouazan.co.uk Subscribe to Conscious Innovation updates: http://eepurl.com/hp0h55 Podcast Music Production from Series 04 Ep 45: Milig Mouazan-Strachan
