About me
Moving money with meaning.
Alivest is a purpose-driven capital consultancy. I help nonprofits, founders, and women building wealth find and use capital in ways that match their values, and make the impact they want to see.
Who I work with
Nonprofits
A clear funding strategy, the right funders, and a plan to reach them.
Founders
Capital strategy and connections to investors who share your values.
Women building wealth
The knowledge and community to invest with intention.
Meet Jensyn
For more than fifteen years, I've worked where money meets mission, helping farmers, founders, nonprofits, and women access capital that works for them.
I'm from Arkansas, and much of my career has focused on the American South. I led impact capital at Heifer International, founded Southern Capital Project to expand wealth-building opportunities for women, and taught Arkansas's first impact investing courses at the University of Arkansas.
Today I live in Portugal, where I lead strategic partnerships at Invest for Better and am building community for women investing across borders, including The Wealth Connective here in Lisbon.
I started Alivest to bring it all together: practical capital strategy for the people building a more equitable economy.
