Creative Capital Table Episode 5 is happening LIVE September 17th!

In this episode of Creative Capital Table, Dr. Angelique Johnson sits down with Wayne Encalarde Capital Strategist and CEO of Encalarde Consulting, to explore how ESO fund creators and investors can move beyond basic equity investments to uncover overlooked opportunities, design creative investment vehicles, and assemble fit-for-purpose capital stacks that unlock both ESO impact and economic opportunity through approaches such as contract financing, revenue-based financing, DAFs, creative repayment structures, third-party guarantees, catalytic and blended capital, and angels participating as LPs.

Most ecosystem events default to the same format: a panel, a keynote, maybe a fireside chat if someone's feeling ambitious. But the format you choose determines what people actually walk away with — a business card, or a real connection.

Join Anika Horn, host of the Ecosystems for Change podcast and author of It Takes a Valley, for a hands-on working session on the event formats that build trust and get entrepreneurs unstuck: hot seats, peer mentoring, speed mentoring, and more.

Come ready to map a format onto your own next event.

Who are the people building stronger entrepreneurial ecosystems—and what can they teach us?

You'll meet many of them in Detroit.
