You’re building
something worth protecting

At every raise, someone will ask you to trade a piece of your mission for a piece of capital. We’ll help you build a foundation that holds, and stand with you when the hard decisions come.

PGO.org will be working with startups through a tailored cohort program to commit to a specific, bounded Impact Mission statement and a set of governance mechanisms designed to make that commitment enforceable as the company scales.
