Camelback Ventures

Over the past month, Camelback Ventures has been on the ground, from New Orleans to San Francisco, moving between rooms filled with nonprofit leaders, funders, and ecosystem builders, all grappling with what it takes to sustain and scale impact right now.

At the Agape Conference, we stepped into conversations on nonprofit resilience and founder–capital alignment. What we heard was real: we're collectively facing an unpredictable funding landscape, but holding a deep, shared understanding that the urgency of this work hasn’t diminished. If anything, it’s intensified.

At the EdLoC Summit, the conversation turned to capital—how it moves, who it reaches, and what it looks like to deploy it in ways that are truly catalytic for impact. We were grateful to sit on a panel with some incredible peers in the ecosystem!

And we came back to New Orleans at the Tulane Lepage Center Entrepreneur Supporters Forum, we connected with local ecosystem builders working closest to founders—reminding us that strong, aligned infrastructure matters at every stage.

In every room, one thing was clear: people are still showing up, still building, still investing in what’s possible.

As we wrap a month of travel, we’re carrying these conversations with us as we prepare for Guardian Summit this June in New Orleans.

If you’re thinking about resilience, capital, and the future of impact—we’d love to build a new blueprint with you.
