Weave Social Finance

What Weave Social Finance does

Weave Social Finance is a Denver-based boutique consulting firm that facilitates New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transactions and structures impact investments for mission-driven companies, affordable housing developers, governmental entities, and businesses operating in low-income communities. Founded in 2012 by Ed Briscoe — who participated in some of the earliest NMTC deals in 2004 during his tenure at Greenline Ventures — the firm advises clients on capital stack assembly and manages the NMTC funding process from sourcing through closing. Since inception, the firm has facilitated over $280 million in NMTC and impact investments and claims to have catalyzed an additional $1 billion in investments into low-income communities.

The firm's core offerings are NMTC Consulting and Impact Investment Consulting, supplemented by two specialized initiatives: the Colorado Housing Accelerator Initiative (CHAI), launched in 2021 to create private debt and equity funds supporting affordable middle-income housing in Colorado with a tenant profit-sharing feature; and the Tenant Equity Vehicle, which structures investments to support tenant ownership of mobile home communities, for-sale condos, and workforce rental housing. Documented engagements include Danimer Scientific (over $60M in NMTC transactions across Bainbridge, GA and Winchester, KY), Temperpack ($46M across Richmond, VA and Las Vegas, NV), Goodwill Industries of Southern Piedmont ($12M Opportunity Campus, Charlotte, NC), indieDwell ($13M, Pueblo, CO), Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (mezzanine debt program), Mile High Ministries/Clara Brown Commons (up to $2.2M in program-related investments), and an equity investment in the Evergreen Real Estate Group Sun Valley project.

Weave generates revenue through professional services and transaction facilitation fees on a deal-by-deal basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is direct, relationship-based consulting engagement with enterprise and government clients; there are no intermediaries, no proprietary technology platform, and no AI-driven components. The firm operates with three documented team members — Ed Briscoe (Managing Director), Abby Murray (Director of Housing Investments), and Carol Morse (Impact Finance Associate) — and is structured as Weave Social Finance, LLC, domiciled in Colorado. Ed Briscoe also operates related entities (Impact Charitable, a 501(c)(3), and the Colorado Housing Accelerator Fund), creating a multi-entity structure for blended-finance product delivery.
