SU3 Partnership
Living Cities is an innovative philanthropic collaborative of the world’s largest foundations like the Rockefeller Foundation, and financial institutions working together to dramatically improve the economic well-being of low-income people in cities.
Our work with the Start Up, Stay Up, Scale Up (SU3) in San Francisco will lay the groundwork for bridging the divide in the wealth gap.
​
Our Pillars of Focus:
De-Risking Entrepreneurship: Coordinating with local government and stakeholders to extend rent subsidies available for teachers and artists to entrepreneurs.
​
Narrative Change: Creating messaging for media outlets and organizations to highlight the work and endeavors of marginalized founders.
​​
Crowdfunding and Micro-investing: Educating and empowering marginalized people to invest in founders through crowd-investing, micro-investing and micro-lending platforms.
​​
Customer Access: Opening pipelines for supplier and contractor relationships between marginalized small business owners and large employer firms.
