Episode Description
If you own a profitable, socially responsible business and decide it's time to move on from this chapter of your life - how do you achieve a solid exit for yourself while still maintaining the integrity of the business, the values and the culture that made it thrive? One answer is to sell it to your employees. Today we'll hear from Philip Reeves and Todd Leverette of Apis & Heritage, a social impact fund which facilitates ELBOs (Employee Led BuyOuts) for businesses with a high number of employees of color. Their approach benefits not only investors in their fund, but also business owners, employees and communities.
