Edge Collaborative

Edge Collaborative is a civic incubator, born from the needs we saw while working in local government. Our team tackles public sector challenges, but with the audacity and innovation of the private sector. Our north star is to build a more participatory, inclusive economy – one in which communities have agency over their futures. We invest in civic infrastructure to do that. We’ve begun this work in Stockton, CA. We focus on challenges that have the best chance at building economic resilience - at the intersection of workforce and jobs, climate and community wealth. We then partner with public, private, and nonprofit organizations to tackle systemic economic challenges. Across our range of portfolio areas, Edge seeds and supports partner-led initiatives with a range of tools - including access to capital, talent, policy support, and coalition-building. As we identify those edge challenges, we partner with organizations to design creative, non-traditional solutions to them - and incubate them until they are ready to live on their own. We're hiring!
