RW Ventures, LLC focuses on market-based strategies
for regional and community economic development. Our goal is to achieve
development outcomes and improve the quality of life of inner city
residents by aligning business and community interests. Our work spans
several areas, from expanding insurance markets to regional economic
policy, and our projects range from neighborhood market development to
analysis of the changing dynamics affecting economic performance.
Our
clients include institutions ranging from large national foundations to
technology companies to community organizations. Through teams of
national experts assembled for each project, we provide services
including market research, business planning, public policy, start-up
services and strategic management.
The common trait unifying our work
is our focus on formal economic analysis of urban assets and markets,
and on creating the information resources –from specialized market
intelligence to business platforms – necessary to reconnect
underutilized neighborhood assets to regional markets and economies. In
all of our projects we seek to bridge the gap between theory and
practice, driving rigorous research from a practitioner perspective,
and translating results into practical programs.
