DETAILS

What if a nonprofit could scale like a startup, measure like an investor, & still lead with humanity?

Kerry Brodie's journey founding Emma's Torch is a masterclass in modern, mission-driven entrepreneurship.

She took a simple idea - using food to empower refugees - & built it into a data-informed, multi-city enterprise by applying a founder's mindset to a social cause.

This isn't just a fireside chat; it's a deep dive into the strategic choices that allowed Kerry to grow from a small pop-up to a successful, repeatable model.

What You'll Learn:

- Scaling the Mission: How to grow from one location to multiple cities & a new, custom-built campus without losing the core community & support that made the first cafe work.
- The Nonprofit-as-Startup Playbook: The lessons learned from running a social enterprise with the agility of a startup - balancing fundraising, earned revenue, & a scrappy growth mindset.
- Measuring What Matters: How to build an impact framework that captures both financial ROI & human transformation, moving beyond simple metrics to prove long-term value.

Who Should Attend:

- Social entrepreneurs & founders of mission-driven businesses.
- Nonprofit leaders looking to build more scalable, business-like models.
- Anyone interested in the practicalities of scaling an organization with both a human & financial bottom line.
