ABOUT > W / IN
The past few years have often magnified where systems are broken and new perspectives, opportunities and solutions must emerge.
> W / IN, the Social Impact focused arm of Courtney Smith & Co., acts as a bridge between the old and new worlds through our expertise, experience, and deep network.
We focus on the areas we’re passionate about, creating solutions where we see new opportunities, and working alongside bold founders and change agents to support their forward-thinking vision for a regenerative future.
We believe that an inside-out approach lays the strongest foundation for long term success. Launching a business, fundraising and balancing it all can stretch and test every part of us.
That is why we support those founders and leaders who prioritize their personal growth, as we know there can be greater impact when the process begins within.
