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

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 ?
