Empowering growth to create lasting impact.
My Mission
I am dedicated to guiding nonprofit and small business startups in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area by fostering meaningful connections and empowering founders to thrive.
With a whole-person approach, I create a personalized road map and build a strong foundation through challenging questions, progress meetings, and integrated support, ensuring both the individual and their endeavor are nurtured.
Our Approach
I believe starting a nonprofit or small business is like nurturing life—it requires care, intentionality, and a deep connection to purpose. This process is not just about logistics and planning; it’s about creating something meaningful, sustainable, and connected to your values and community. My roadmap helps ensure that every step is grounded in purpose and designed for long-term success.
Behind the Name
I chose the name Seed because I believe every venture begins as a small, powerful idea—full of potential, purpose, and possibility. Just like a seed, a business or nonprofit needs the right conditions to grow: care, clarity, support, and time.
At Seed, I nurture early-stage founders as they plant bold ideas, root them in their values, and build something lasting for their communities.
About Me
FOUNDER & LEAD GUIDE
Sarah Walker
With two decades of experience in leadership, coaching, and development, I’ve worked alongside small businesses, start-ups, and nonprofits throughout the Twin Cities. My training with the CoActive Training Institute equips me to support a wide range of clients—including corporate professionals, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, parents, and artists—as they navigate growth and change. I’ve also built and grown two small businesses and a nonprofit of my own, giving me firsthand insight into the challenges and rewards of building something from the ground up.
When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me with a good book, hiking in the woods, or creating art. My family keeps me grounded and inspired—they’re my encouragers, my playmates, and my joy.
Support Network
Your journey is unique, and sometimes it takes a team to bring your vision to life. I partner with a team of independent consultants and coaches with diverse specialties so you can access the exact expertise you need, when you need it. This collaborative approach ensures you have the resources and guidance you need to grow with confidence and clarity.
