20 System change for communities Initial lessons learned from Kansas City s efforts: 1. Onestop shop: Cities can provide a portal for entrepreneurs to gain technical support and investors to source deals 2. Demystifying finance. Creating shared definitions of investor ready and community enhancing projects 3. Capital stack: alignment of public and philanthropic incentives with community processed deals 4. Land ownership. Governmentowned property is an asset that can drive equity 5. New institutions. Communities need new financial mechanisms and structures for example, creating a new CDFI with capacity to manage equity vs debt 20
