Open Road funds companies combating climate change and reducing inequality during crucial moments of growth and momentum. openroadalliance.org

Blue background and a quote from a new series by Open Road's tom Schumacher: Our borrower survey data shows that the average delay between a committed investment and actual disbursement is eight months. That’s not the full fundraise — that’s just the gap between “yes” and the money actually hitting your account. The full cycle? Equity transactions in these markets routinely take 6 to 12 months. Debt deals, especially from DFIs and institutional lenders, can stretch well beyond a year.
