Live Zoom Event (Session 1) 
Thursday, February 8

1:00pm Eastern | 12:00pm Central | 10:00am Pacific

We’re excited to announce a new opportunity to become an investor in Equal Exchange! Through a new federal regulation, we can include more people in our alternative capital model through crowdfunding. This means we can fund our business with the support of our own network and democratize another aspect of our model.

Every business needs capital to operate and to grow. In our line of work, it’s what pays for things like roasting equipment, warehouses, packaging machinery, the coolers for our chocolate, and raw materials like green coffee beans.

In addition to the voting shares owned by our Worker-Owners, we’ve also historically secured financing through a limited number of non-voting investor shares. This has made us a major innovator among social mission-driven companies in terms of how we manage our capital. We’re excited to now open up this offering to an even wider audience.

Visit our Crowdfund Mainstreet page to learn more about the offering and attend one of our info sessions to hear directly from our founder and Capital Coordinator and get your questions answered. We look forward to seeing you there!

Q&A hosted by Nicole Vitello, Equal Exchange Capital Coordinator and Vice President, and Rink Dickinson, Equal Exchange Co-Founder and President
