Tharseō was established as a Michigan LLC in December 2021 to help Detroit’s nonprofit, public and social entrepreneur community realize their most radical dreams. Tharseō, a Greek phrase meaning “take courage,” tackles some of the greatest equity challenges confronting our community. We partner with organizations to answer Shawn Dove ’s prolific question: “What would you do if you were ten times bolder?”

In all of our work. we seek to deliver the following...

10xBolder goals + aspirations: 

• We will persevere in spite of fear + difficulty.
• We will continually challenge the limitations of our own imaginations, and build a world where equity, belonging, justice + liberation are the norm.

Healing-centered collaboration:

• We will deliver our work with a sense of humor and compassion.
• We will recognize that both the ends and the means matter, that everyone must feel whole and fully valued.

Targeted + practical support:
