The Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF) is a community-focused lending institution that invests capital in low-income people and communities. LIIF partners with programs offering affordable housing, childcare, education services, healthcare, and transit-oriented development to improve conditions and opportunity for people living in low-income areas. LIIF enlisted a Capstone team to assess the feasibility of launching a shared services platform (SSP) to support early childhood education centers in NYC. The team analyzed existing SSP models, interviewed experts, discussed services with potential clients, estimated demand, and developed an economic model. The team delivered a final report, including a business plan, budget, marketing strategy, and outreach plan, which will be used to implement the platform and optimize its impact.
