It takes a whole startup ecosystem to create successful companies, and that includes startups (new projects from existing organizations), Angels, venture capital funds, families and foundations.
The Foundation Accelerator invites foundations and families to a 10-week training for program officers and others to learn how to blend investments with grants, using existing capital to catalyze more impact.
