About GOOD SOIL EDC INC

Good Soil EDC, Inc. is a Dallas‑based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that organizes the Good Soil Forum, a multi‑day conference and seed capital pitch competition focused on helping founders — particularly under‑resourced and minority entrepreneurs — access capital, customers, and operational know‑how. The organization runs the Forum, live pitch competitions that award equity‑free seed capital, and ecosystem partnerships with corporate sponsors and local government to create pathways for business growth. In recent years Good Soil EDC has hosted large public forums in Dallas (2024–2026 cycle), expanded corporate sponsorships, and activated multi‑stakeholder seed capital programs to move funding to founders of color.

Notable achievements

Seed capital awards (2025)

Good Soil’s 2025 seed capital pitch competition awarded a total of approximately $500,000 in equity‑free prizes, including a grand prize (the Good Soil Award) of $150,000, to early‑stage founders.

Large, recurring forum attendance

The Good Soil Forum drew over 2,000 entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem partners in 2025 and expanded into a recurring annual conference in the Dallas metro area with multi‑day programming and breakout tracks focused on clarity, capital, customers, and systems.

Major corporate and municipal partnerships

Good Soil EDC secured high‑profile corporate sponsors (including Wells Fargo as a presenting partner for its pitch competition) and entered collaborative arrangements with the City of Dallas Small Business Center to extend programming and referrals to local small businesses.
