For incubators, accelerators and funders

    The financial stress in your cohort isn't in the pitch deck

    It's personal: what founders pay themselves, whether they can sleep at night, whether money anxiety wears them down before the mission does. It rarely gets named in a programme beyond fundraising, but it shapes who makes it through and who burns out first. DearMoney brings that conversation into your cohort, workshops and retreats led by a facilitator who has spent two decades supporting leaders through change, in human rights, philanthropy and social impact.

    Why this matters in mission-driven work

    94% of people worry about money, and 77% say it affects their work. For founders and changemakers already stretched thin, that stress rarely surfaces as a request for help. More often it looks like overwork, avoidance, or exit. Naming it, with care and without shame, is one of the highest-leverage things a programme, cohort or grant can offer. It impacts both their own lives, but also the likelihood of success of their organisation.
