Our theory of change rests on the foundation that how investments are structured and how investment dollars flow to benefit individuals their communities is critically important. Investor outcomes matter, and if one of the end goals of investing is to create opportunity and foster self-determination to support thriving communities and vibrant ecosystems, we need to reconsider how capital works to manifest systems change.

45North centers its work around the connection between “right relationship” and “right capital.” We are collaborative and transparent with our clients as well as with the entrepreneurs and organizations that become our portfolio companies and implementation partners.

Our relationship-based approach also encourages us to utilize, or create as necessary, the best capital structure(s) to meet the goals and cash flow needs of the enterprises we work with and typically include some combination of revenue-based debt or equity, as well as grant support when available.

We welcome a conversation and continue to be energized by the urgent need to transform our system to one that is more collaborative and more resilient to address the challenges we face.
