Alternative Capital Valuation

Jessica — Tue, 29 May 2007 14:03:34 -0400

Let me know if you're interested in a preprint I did for the Institute for the Future's Ten Year Forecast on the financial space over the next ten years.

I talk about alternative capital, intangible assets, and corporate social responsibility movements, etc.

I'm listed as being associated with my start-up, Civv.us, which is very early stage community enterprise (probably for-profit, because I want to attend specifically to alternative capital valuation).

Other than the capital component, I have expertise particularly in the education, k-12, community spaces in the US.
