Cutting Edge Capital

About Cutting Edge Capital

Cutting Edge Capital provides small and mid-sized businesses with the information, tools, and expertise they need to raise capital in a way that fits with their unique business model and long-term goals.

We became a B Corp because we are passionately committed to helping social enterprises raise the capital they need in a way that is consistent with their needs and values. No socially responsible business should have to sacrifice its values to be able to raise capital.

As experienced business lawyers, entrepreneurs, and finance experts, the CEC team helps businesses use innovative capital raising strategies that allow them to solicit non-traditional sources of funding. In addition to being a great way to raise capital, these strategies allow businesses to build public support and recognition at the same time they are raising funds.

The Change We Seek™

Many of us would much rather invest our nest eggs into local, socially, responsible businesses than mutual funds that invest in giant multinational public companies. Unfortunately, the existing securities laws make this almost impossible.

The result is that the vast majority of us are prohibited from putting our investment funds where we would like to put them and social enterprise must compete for extremely scarce private funding from wealthy investors and venture capital funds.

Cutting Edge Capital seeks to level the playing field by making it affordable for smaller businesses to access the public capital markets, using innovative strategies that are legally compliant.
