Exploring the Infrastructure of a Shared Prosperity Economy

Many dream of an economy where wealth is broadly distributed and opportunity isn’t determined by zip code or race. Yet connecting patient, values-aligned capital with the innovators who need it remains elusive. In this Collaborative Forum, three facilitated breakout groups will tackle: 1) building equitable pathways to capital for impact founders; 2) accelerating community-owned and regenerative economic models; and 3) forging cross-sector partnerships that make shared prosperity durable. Participants will co-design solutions using real examples from Baltimore’s neighborhood economies, a global impact entrepreneur network, and an emerging ecosystem capacity-building initiative.
