RAISING CAPITAL LOCALLY TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS WITH DAVID WHITTLESEY

ENVISION THIS: A way to address the needs of local small business owners for capital raised locally through a loan/investment opportunity mechanism.

Our guest, David Whittlesey, helped found and currently manages Bowdoinham Community Development Initiative designed to stimulate, grow, and sustain healthy enterprises in the local community.  The initial focus has been on raising capital locally through an innovative loan/investment opportunity mechanism.

David also manages MaineStreams – Creative Consulting, and is Chair of the Board of CDA Collaborative Learning Projects, a Cambridge, MA  – based non­profit seeking to improve the effectiveness of national and international actors who provide international development and  humanitarian assistance and engage in peace practice.

His commitment to developing true community doesn't just embrace economics.  He also regularly invites local folks to join him at Whittlesey House Concerts, featuring local musicians and fostering community togetherness.
