I first launched Mission Throttle in 2009 to pursue our vision of “a world where capitalistic solutions and philanthropic values converge to accelerate community impact.” I was inspired by the legacy my mother and father left on our community through both the business and impact sectors. I saw the opportunity to the blend the best of both worlds, bringing capitalism’s efficient systems, innovative culture, and flexible financing tools to enhance the impact sector’s financial sustainability and accelerate philanthropic innovation.
Over the past ten years I’ve been fortunate to support the sector’s national thought leaders, make investments in innovative local social enterprises, collaborate with some of the most impactful agencies, and partner with Mission Throttle’s talented, dedicated advisory practice team. As we have collectively taken time for thoughtful contemplation, I intend to transparently share some of our candid reflections on the past decade and sincere aspirations for the decades to come.
