Hey,
I'm Esme !

Firstly, thank you. It's great to have you here!
I've always wanted to run a business on a model that was fair and treated profit and purpose as equals.
I've been a founder and worked with over 100 start-ups, and I have faced so many complex challenges when raising money and building a business on my terms.
I built this Alternative Funding School essentially, as a solution to the start-up challenges I faced funding my own business.
I hope that many other founders aiming to balance profits and purpose can benefit from those same lessons.

Founder, Considered Capital
Why sacrifice purpose for profit when you can have both?
Considered Capital is here to help you fund your business on your terms.
We walk you through a framework, step-by-solid step, to guide you through how fundraising works.
We'll open up access to a group of like-minded people, all with the same goal.
Most places will guide you towards raising Venture Capital. However, we're here to show you that you can succeed if you care equally about profit and purpose.
We're here to support you one small step at a time.
It's one small step for zebras.
...wait, what's a 'zebra'?
The issue...
- it isn’t clear exactly what type of funding is available for your business type
- it’s even harder when you're also trying to find the best way to fund your business based on your values
- choosing the wrong investment at the wrong time creates a whole raft of problems and can impact your ability to raise in the future
- you are, in fact, in the majority in wanting to preserve your social mission and impact as you look for ways to fund your growth
- we're creating an Alternative Funding School to prove you with the community, connections and knowledge to raise aligned funding.
- together, we can find capital that aligns with your vision and the impact you want to have on the world
...and the solution.

Community over competition
To me, it's essential to work with people who know more than I do. They have an area of expertise in which they are passionate and well-versed.
The team at Considered Capital and I were all interested in helping to guide and support founders through their fundraising challenges. It made so much sense to all of us to come together and collectively build a solution that isn't one-size-fits-all.
