Community Sourced Capital

“We build

innovative

financial

systems for

communities.”

Zero interest lending platform

Rachel Maxwell Certified B

Corp/Registered Social Purpose Corp

Fund the world you want to live in.

Most lenders know and live within a few miles of the businesses they support.

People will make zero-interest loans if they are connected to the business or the community that is being improved with the loan.

What’s a Square Holder?

Shareholders (stockholder) Squareholders (lenders in CSC platFORM)

• People who know you and your business

• People who care about the growth of the Pearl District

• People who want to lend “social capital”

• $50 minimum

• $500 Super Square Holder

Fund matching

• Craft3 is a local community development finance institution

• Firebrand example:

• Our goal is $20,000

• We must raise $8,500 in 4 week campaign

• Craft3 matches dollar for dollar up to $20,000 when $8,500 is reached

Other positive outcomes

We get to use trust

as capital.

We gain brand

ambassadors.

Connecting the

Human

Feeling of Your

Brand…

through the magical portal of photography and social media

What is social media, anyways?!

And there isn’t one best platform!

And you don’t have to do them all!

It’s about what resonates with you.

Social media is no longer just about being behind the screen, pressing buttons and posting.

That’s where it is evolving and becoming more human.

It’s now about getting out there and engaging physically in the world with your customers based on what you are

putting out in the virtual world.

It doesn’t work against the true art and act of being social.

It works with it.

location added: South Coast Plaza

comewecreate: Around a long rectangular

table under twinkling lights, we sat in the

warm October evening air surrounded by

our new friends, sipping cocktails topped

with fresh nutmeg and eating the tastiest

of bites from @pinotprovence. Stories

were shared. Memories were made. And

we savored the last licks of one of the best

days of our lives. Thank you to @dianecu,

@toddporter, @zoebakes, @skinnytaste,

@mimiavocado, @thelittlekitchn,

@droolius, @cookthestory,

@loveandoliveoil, @blogoverthyme,

@fifteenspatulas, & @glorioustreats for

inspiring us. We love you all!

worldfoodspdx: Coffee from @nossafamiliacoffee beans, freshly squeezed orange juice from our in-store juicer,

Carlton Farms bacon, and pancakes made with @bobsredmill 10 grain mix & @kerrygoldusa butter. The final touch?

Maple syrup aged in Woodinville Whiskey barrels (it's unlike any other).

worldfoodspdx: Meet the Maker: the schemer, the

dreamer, the brilliant brain behind @bowerybagels,

@remedywinebar, KitchenCru, CorksCru, &

CruMarket - Michael Madigan. His classically creative

kosher bagels and schmears (chosen as an editors' pick

by @pomomagazine) bring a New York style flavor to

the city of Portland with "a light crunch on the crust, a

chewy but not dense interior, and a malty richness."

worldfoodspdx:

Summer is a balance

of watermelon & rosé

Social Media’s Direct Impact

(examples for the skeptics in the crowd)

worldfoodspdx: What to do with our beautiful NW local asparagus (on sale for $2.99/lb)

and Cabot bacon cheddar (on sale for $8.99/lb): Throw them in the oven with olive oil,

sea salt, black pepper, garlic, fresh basil, and a splash of rosé for something special.

worldfoodspdx: Featuring our fantastic hot turkey club on a #philippesbread brioche bun

from @chefstablegroup with sun dried tomato mayo this Friday. Come ask one of our deli

connoisseurs to whip you up a piece of their food art!

worldfoodspdx: Meet Aaron (@aarlevy)! You may know him as the handsome man behind the

meat counter - but did you also know he's the creative eyes behind the lens of

@rip_city_lookbook? He's originally from Austin, Texas, and has most likely thrown a ya'll or

two in your direction. Come say hi and be dazzled by his charm.

So how do you find and harness your inner social media maven ?
