Danielle Cadhit - Revolutionizing Generosity: The Coralus Effect

Danielle Cadhit joins us to discuss her experience bringing a human-centred approach to investing in and empowering entrepreneurs. Danielle (Dane) Cadhit is a creative practitioner, futurist, and strategist passionate about systems design and transformation. She primarily impacts this space as the Director of Systems & Emergent Strategy at Coralus, a global community of changemakers working on initiatives, projects, and businesses practicing radical generosity in order to create a world that has humans thriving. Cadhit shares how Coralus has radicalized funding structures for women entrepreneurs, what it means to practice radical generosity, and why investment structures should strive to imitate nature. 

Highlights from our conversation include:

1. Money is just one kind of capital. Entrepreneurs, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, need access to social capital as well. 
2. One of the most supportive moves investors can make is to not take equity in the companies they help launch.
3. By making decision-makers more diverse and reflective of Canada’s population, we can make way for more unique and innovative ideas across Canada’s small business landscape.
