Congratulations to Co-founders Samir Goel and Wemimo Abbey and the entire Esusu team.

??Cabinet Health is honored and humbled by being awarded this year’s Reusie Most Innovative Company by Upstream at #circularity24 and GreenBiz Group. This award for us is less of a celebration of the accomplishment, but more a recognition of the work yet to be done. The Reusie award is a beacon of partnership and support from a community of brilliant, bold, and accomplished circular and sustainable operators. If you ever feel unhopeful of the future — meet some of these people and learn about their work, you will find hope again. Among the top of that list, are my fellow finalists and now new friends - Francois Servranckx and Petros Palandjian. Pages of notes and now dreams came from talk to these two founders who are dedicated to breaking the bonds we hold on “ownership, waste, and system failures.” The greatest gratitude goes to the Upstream squad who I now proudly consider MY PEOPLE! To “radical collaboration” and “making the right sauce” — Julie Lamy, Crystal Dreisbach , Vanessa Tiongson , Macy Zander , Ashley Craig, and so many others.

Cabinet Health , Achal Patel and I are honored to be selected as a 2024 Finalist for the #EY Entreprenuer of the Year Award for the New York region. For me, this nomination has less to do with the “Entreprenuer” or the “cofounders” but everything to do with the courage of our team, dedicated to a sustainable healthcare future. Cabbies who love facing unlikely odds and shifting the inertia of an old industry. Congrats to them! Winners will be announced in June. After spending one afternoon with the other finalists, sponsors and EY Team - Noelle Calautti @michelle vice, Antonio T. Perez, MBA , Rachel Swenson and others — I am deeply humbled and impressed by the community created. More to come in June.

Esusu is committed to addressing the racial wealth gap head-on. As of October 2023, we've achieved remarkable milestones, generating 107,000+ new credit scores and unlocking over $21.9 billion in capital for renters. Our impact extends to preventing 8,000+ evictions, facilitating access to 33,000+ mortgages totaling more than $14 billion, and securing 134,000+ car loans. This month, I'm proud to share that Esusu Co-Founder and 2018 Global Good Fund Fellow, Wemimo Abbey, has reflected on the crucial intersection of placemaking and the arts. Dive into his insightful piece here: https://lnkd.in/eEdaifcM Esusu stands as a testament to the impact ecosystem we're fostering. Both co-founders underwent our Fellowship, focusing on leadership development in different years. Subsequently, Esusu received investment from the Global Impact Fund (GIF), strategically investing at the nexus of competitive returns and social enterprises, particularly supporting individuals of color and women.
