The Billionaire-Backed LLC That Refuses to Pick Just One Lever
Emerson Collective can write a grant, take an equity stake, convene a coalition, or back a story. That flexibility is its product - and its central bet on how difficult public problems get solved.
Resilia
Resilia is a New Orleans-based B2B SaaS company that helps nonprofits build organizational capacity and helps funders - foundations, corporations, governments and banks - go beyond the grant with coaching, technical assistance, and impact intelligence. Founded by serial entrepreneur Sevetri Wilson (who first built the nonprofit-formation tool ExemptMeNow), the two-sided platform pairs on-demand courses, templates and fundraising tools for grassroots organizations with dashboards that let grantmakers track and scale impact across their portfolios. Resilia raised a $35M Series B in 2022 - the largest venture round ever for a solo Black-female-founded tech company.
