Dan Miller, the Founder of Steward, and the Co-founder of Fundrise joins the Green Business Podcast. Steward provides access to flexible financing and expert support services for regenerative farms and agricultural businesses looking to scale their operations, improve the health of their lands, and bolster local food systems.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dan Miller discuss the following:
- Tell us about yourself. Your background, how your childhood impacted what you are doing now, what’s your inspiration?
- What inspired you to pivot from real estate crowdfunding with Fundrise to focusing on regenerative agriculture with Steward?
- Can you discuss the challenges small-scale farms face when seeking traditional financing, and how Steward addresses these issues?
- White Oak Pastures is an impressive example of the impact Steward can have. Are there any other standout success stories or projects you’d like to highlight?
- With Steward being the first ever “crowd-farming” platform, what have been the major learning curves or unexpected challenges in this space?
- Looking towards the future, how do you see Steward evolving and what are your goals for supporting more regenerative farms in the coming years?
Steward was founded by Dan Miller, the co-founder of Fundrise, a prominent real estate investment platform. Miller had exited his leadership role at Fundrise and soon engaged in this new Fintech venture focused on online capital formation. Steward provides access to flexible financing and expert support services for agricultural businesses looking to scale their operations, improve the health of their lands, and bolster local food systems. But we don’t do it alone—our lending platform brings together a community of values-driven individuals who join in our mission by participating in loans that help fuel this growth. Steward is proud to be a Certified B Corp.
