SVP Think Tank

A Fresh Look at Challenges Faced by Nonprofits

Quarterly mastermind session coming alongside 2-3 nonprofit partner organizations

SVP Think Tank are a chance for active Nonprofit Partners / Fast Pitch Alumni to share a BIG challenge or opportunity they face with a network of SVP Partners. Partners and prospective partners come together for a fun and social evening while using a structured design thinking process to generate ideas that could solve the nonprofit issue. It’s a great way to build connections and gain unique insights from different vantage points.

None of us have all the answers. But together, we likely have most of them.

How SVP Think Tanks Work

Two Investees craft problem statements around an issue (not fundraising related) they are currently facing
Investees have a quick pitch that explains their organization and the problem they are trying to solve
