What we offer

Consulting

We provide strategy consulting to four organizations each semester, applying creativity and curiosity to maximize our impact. Our research-based and data-focused projects vary in nature, spanning from technical to creative areas.

We holistically understand each client's mission, challenges, and goals to better drive success. Learn how we work.

Capital access

Microloans

As Tier-1 trustees of Kiva, we help small businesses apply for 0% interest loans of up to $10,000. Over the past decade, we have facilitated the disbursement of $250,000 across 27 loans.

We conduct due diligence and financial analysis to endorse these loans as a secure financial investment, increasing the chances of successful fundraising rounds.
