We are excited to continue moving money in big ways. We are on a journey with our clients to unlock their investment portfolios and to move their money into solidarity economies. For Chordata, “due diligence” means taking the kinds of risks that our clients came to us to take. Our commitment to our clients is to find projects where it’s strategic to take higher financial risks so that we can build the kind of economy that we all want to live in. We strive not to be conservative out of risk, and always to be clear with clients about where high risks are.
When considering investments, we meticulously vet risk, communicate transparently with clients, and we invite clients into strategic opportunities. And we’re seeing that those risks are worth it! Some of our major early investments, like Ujima and Seed Commons, have blossomed into powerhouse organizations that are shifting power across the country.
What risks do you want Chordata to take in the coming years?
