Who we are
Meet the founders and learn how Shared Prosperity connects capital, communities, and tenants to build wealth together.
Stephanie and Ed first connected through their shared collaboration as members and investors through Social Venture Circle (SVC), a membership network that equips entrepreneurs, impact investors and capacity builders with connections, capital and expertise. They soon became fast friends, thought partners, co-investors, and innovative schemers to support social enterprise using sophisticated financing and investing tools to create sustainable impact, shared prosperity and wealth building for all.
