 “When we're thinking about regenerative capital, we're combining what philanthropy did, but we're also looking to grow that philanthropic pool, so we can do more. That's where we start building a better world for us all.” -David Cooper   “Fundraising is the hardest part of entrepreneurship. If they have the capital sooner, they would be executing because entrepreneurs, by and large, are doers.” -Maggie Spicer   When it comes to social enterprise investing, raising awareness among investors and entrepreneurs is essential.  Impact investing is a general investment strategy that seeks to generate financial returns while also creating a positive social or environmental impact. Investors who follow impact investing consider a company's commitment to corporate social responsibility or the duty to positively serve society as a whole.  The bulk of impact investing is done by institutional investors, including hedge funds, private foundations, banks, pension funds, and fund managers.  Yet, a range of financial service companies, investment platforms and investor networks now offer individuals an opportunity to participate.  One major venue is microfinance loans, which provide small-business owners in emerging nations with startup or expansion capital. Women are often the beneficiaries of such loans.     In this episode Justine talks with David Cooper, Senior Partner and Donor Advisor of DAF Capital and Maggie Spicer, Partner and COO, DAF Capital. Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) are one form of investment vehicle.  David and Maggie explain impact investments and charitable capital investments through Donor-Advised Funds. Since the pandemic, DAF Capital along with 86Fund raised $120,000 to help 119 businesses.  The 86Fund is a 501c3-sponsored, DAF-backed philanthropic venture fund that provided grants to U.S.-based restaurants and restaurant-adjacent small businesses (farmers, wine + beer makers, bakers, fishermen/women, etc.) impacted by the global pandemic and/or climate change.  In this episode, David and Maggie also talk about frameworks that have the same goals such as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG); Sustainable Development Goals (SDG); and Justice, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI-nope, not the Star Wars movie!). These and other similar frameworks are promising and POSSIBLE.    Connect with David Cooper: David serves as DAF Capital's Senior Partner specializing in the details of unlocking DAF capital. He has 20+ years of experience directing the acquisition, financing, ownership, and disposition of early-stage companies. He brings deep knowledge of equity transactions including due diligence, structuring, closing, and operational management. He and his associates make investments that match risk with returns and reconnect investors with the performance of the companies they invest in, selecting companies in need of financing that make a positive impact in the world—without sacrificing returns.  And he has the track record to prove it.   David is a managing member of his family's clean technology fund West Coast CleanTech (WCTT), founded on the belief that the confluence of economic, social, and environmental factors driving rapid technological change in green technologies offers positive investment opportunities. David is a board member of the Baja Coastal Institute, a nonprofit organization devoted to regional environmental and socioeconomic research throughout Baja, Mexico.   LinkedIn   Connect with Maggie Spicer: Maggie serves as a Partner at DAF Capital to enable and inspire more people to use their Donor-Advised Funds in different ways than they would traditionally think.   She's spent her career starting and building innovative companies, typically as a hybrid CEO/COO/CCO. She is the founder and Chief Operating Officer of WHISK, the brand strategy & kinesthetic experience agency trusted by Airbnb, Twitch, IDEO, Levi Strauss & Co., Github, Square, Salesforce, Tesco, Zendesk, and many others.   In tandem to WHISK, Maggie has launched six businesses in the last decade including 86Fund, a $12M DAF fund to aid SF Bay Area restaurants experiencing economic hardship. She serves on the Board of Directors for 18Reasons, a member of the Bi-Rite Market family.   LinkedIn   Connect with DAF Capital:  Website Facebook Instagram   Connect with 86 Fund:  Website Instagram   Connect with Justine:  Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn   Connect with NextGenChef: Website  Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  YouTube NextGenChef App Episode Highlights: 01:37 Impact Advising and Investing  07:39 The Environment, Social, and Governance Framework 12:43 How to Address the Gap in the Food System 18:13 Invest in Healthy Soil! 21:01 How Everything is Interrelated  26:25 It's a Win-Win! 29:56 Why Support Impact Entrepreneurs 36:27 Get Folks ON the Land  41:09 Think About Healthy Ecosystems

In Edible-Alpha® podcast #60, Tera catches up with consultant Alli Ball, creator of the Retail Ready online course and the Food Biz Wiz podcast. A former grocery buyer for Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco, Alli struck out on her own in 2014 to follow her true passion: helping producers get into retail. At Bi-Rite, Alli had the bandwidth to nurture emerging food brands, helping them hone their offerings to maximize sales. But as she and Tera discussed, most grocery buyers don't have this much capacity. So when an entrepreneur pitches a product, they often hear a quick “no” and receive little if any constructive feedback. But this doesn't necessarily mean the product is a dud. Oftentimes, entrepreneurs are rejected because they don't know the proper way or time to pitch to buyers—or how to speak buyers' unique language. This is where Alli comes in. She coaches producers on how grocery buyers think, how to pitch effectively and how to boost their wholesale business. Along with one-on-one consultations, she offers her 12-module Retail Ready online course, which covers everything from identifying target audiences to crafting effective sell sheets to working with brokers and distributors. Students move through the course material at their own pace while also participating in biweekly live group chats with Alli. For additional support, current students and Retail Ready graduates join a Facebook group, where they can network, post questions and solve problems together. Then if brands wish to continue working with Alli one-on-one after completing Retail Ready, they have that opportunity. She also hosts the weekly Food Biz Wiz podcast, which delves into common challenges her students encounter and sometimes features PR experts, brokers, financial gurus and other industry stakeholders. Recently, Alli launched the Food Biz Wiz Quarterly Planner to help food companies set and achieve their business goals. To date, some 250 brands have taken Retail Ready and there are numerous success stories. But as Alli pointed out, she gives producers the tools to succeed at retail, but they have to do the work. Those who've really dug into the program and taken action are the ones that land on store shelves—and fly off of them. A whole lot goes in to getting new food products “retail ready,” and entrepreneurs often don't know what they don't know. Tapping into resources like Alli's can make the difference between an awesome product that never reaches consumers and an awesome product that people love and purchase again and again.

This edition of Industry Night with Foodie and the Beast, we’re speaking with two, exceptional authorities in their own right. First, Kiko Bourne hosts Lunch Agenda, a food systems education podcast right here on Full Service Radio. She’s also the Cooking & Gardening Teacher for kids at Mundo Verde, DC’s first “green” public charter school, and we’ll chat with her about her good works teaching kids about … good foods! Previously, she was head of marketing for the Capital Area Food Bank and marketing director for San Francisco’s Bi-Rite Market. Justin Severino is a four-time James Beard Foundation award nominee for Best Chef Mid-Atlantic and a 2015 and 2014 winner of FOOD & WINE’s “The People’s Best New Chef Mid-Atlantic” and chef/co-owner of Cure, a neighborhood restaurant in Pittsburgh dedicated to local sourcing and seasonal cooking with an urban-Mediterranean influence, and nearby Morcilla, an award-winning Spanish restaurant serving pintxos and family-style dishes. His new spot, The Larder at Larimer, a collaboration with Scott Smith at East End Brewing Company, will open in early 2019. Severino is a great interview. He’s a skilled whole animal butcher who brings an extensive charcuterie program and flavors of an Italian-American upbringing to his menu. In 2012, Cure was named one of the “Top 50 Best New Restaurants” by Bon Appétit magazine, so you know he’s quite a chef! Since opening, Morcilla has been chosen by Pittsburgh Magazine as the “2016 Best New Restaurant.” Bon Appétit ranked it #4 in the country in the annual “Best New Restaurants” issue, and it was nominated for a 2016 James Beard Foundation award in the “Best New Restaurants” category.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, how did native New Yorker Colu Henry, turn her Italian heritage and a #hashtag into a pasta phenomenon? Colu's great grandparents came to the New World from Campania, and with them, brought a culture of cooking that still exists today in everyone's pantry, “use what you have in stock to make something delicious”. After years working in PR with high-profile chef like Marcus Samuelsson, Kurt Gutenbrunner, Scott Conant, developing the Oregon Wine Board through her love of Pinot Noir, working with Kyle MacLachlan on marketing his Bordeaux-inspiried cabernet “Pursued by Bear”, and becoming Director of Special Projects at Bon Appétit, it was the virtues of her Nonni that brought Colu back to #backpocketpasta, inspired by a childhood of marinara, tuna-clam sauce, meatballs with grated pecorino, braciole with pine nuts and raisins, and warm semolina sesame bread from Arthur Ave. Join in the fun, and show Colu your #backpocketpasta on Instagram:http://instagram.com/coluhenry. This program was brought to you by Bi-Rite Market. “It's really about the people that are around the table in addition to what you're serving.” [20:00] –Colu Henry on THE FOOD SEEN

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Nancy Harmon Jenkins takes us into “Virgin Territory”, her book exploring the world of olive oil. Nancy will reveal olive oil's origins, the process behind making what is now the 3rd largest food product in the USA (only behind coffee and chocolate), and it's long list of health benefits (omega 3s, good cholesterol, antioxidants). Nancy herself stumbled into an olive orchard, on a farm in Tuscany, under the dogma of a Mediterranean diet. Oh, it's not your ordinary diet, because it's full of delicious food. Sicilian Fried Almonds, Marinated Cured Olives, Tapenades, Roasted Red Peppers with Anchovies and Tomatoes, Tuscan bean soups, French Pistou, Three-Onion Focaccia (Pizza Al Taglio), Spaghetti Aglio-Olio-Pepperoncino, Fried Artichokes, gently olive oil poached fish, and Southern-Fried Chicken in Olive Oil. Leave room for some olive oil gelato, and a bunch of knowledge and praise for unheralded olive growers across the globe. And remember, use your olive oil, and use it liberally. This program was sponsored by Bi-Rite Market. “I think olive oil is the most important ingredient in the kitchen.” [12:00] “In the our country we are not aware of what we can do with olive oil.” [10:00] — Nancy Harmon on The Food Seen

Americans once sipped coffee and ate pie around communal tables, sharing their struggles and dreams with strangers at Horn & Hardart’s iconic Automat. This week on A Taste of the Past, host Linda Pelaccio is talking the history of the automat with Marianne Hardart, the great-granddaughter of Automat co-founder Frank Hardart; her father, Augustin, was the last of three generations of Hardarts to manage the Automats. But, what exactly is an Automat? Marianne explains it was a ‘fast food’ restaurant where hot foods and drink were served by coin-operated vending machines that were stocked by actual kitchens making items fresh. Talking about all things Automat, after the break, Linda welcomes Lisa Hurwitz, the Director and Producer of The Automat, The Horn & Hardart Documentary Film (check out the Kickstarter campaign here). Adding her thoughts on the topic and sharing why the Automat is an important piece of American culinary history, she relates how more than just entertainment, The Automat is a parable of how we once dined happily together before turning to the isolated and unhappy experience offered by today’s fast food, a bad deal that no amount of advertising can disguise. This program was brought to you by Bi-Rite Market. “There was nothing automatic about it, which was sort of a joke in the beginning, it involved several people to get the food from one place in the restaurant to another. What it evolved into was this machine that you put in a nickel and opened a door and pulled out your meal.” [5:55] —Marianne Hardart on A Taste of the Past “The Automat, for me, just had so much personality and character and for someone like myself who never experienced it first hand when I learned about the Automat I was extremely fascinated by the concept.” [18:45] —Lisa Hurwitz on A Taste of the Past
