Last night, I was invited to present on "Innovative Financing for the Social Economy" in Jack Quarter's graduate class, "Non-profits, Cooperatives, and the Social Economy" at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). To accompany my talk, I put together the presentation embedded below using a tool called Prezi.

The presentation concludes with the following questions, which I'd be happy to discuss here on SocialFinance.ca:

• If start-ups using social technology are in fact innovating more quickly than others, how do government agencies, impact investment funds, and large financial institutions align their efforts in support?
• What do more established non-profits, co-operatives, and social enterprises stand to gain from a high tech social finance ecosystem? Does it favour the smaller-scale social ventures, capable of taking greater risks?
• What will it look like when mainstream actors start working in the cloud to deliver innovative social finance solutions in addition to marketing campaigns?
• How do organizations providing social finance on the ground but not in the cloud connect with one another to do more with their collective resources? Who do they partner with to get this done?
