While many health and human service executives think that access to capital is their primary competitive disadvantage, I would argue that is not necessarily the case. More often than not, traditional provider organizations lack a growth-focused, sustainable strategy—with concrete market positioning and a business plan. That is the first step in creating a plan for acquiring the capital (and other assets) required to fuel that growth. In this issue of the OPEN MINDS Management Newsletter, we’re focused not on the strategy but on the options for growth capital. In the article, Getting Capital For Growth – Ten Options, we outlined the options that executive teams and board can consider. OPEN MINDS Chief Marketing Officer, Tim Snyder, describes how to “make the case” for funding with a strong pitch deck in Raising Capital: Are You Pitch Ready?. And we do a deeper dive into a few of the options for raising capital in Private Equity For Expansion Capital: The Pros & Cons, M&A As A Sustainability Strategy—What Works? and The New Challenges In Fundraising.
