Great change occurs when ambitions are supported by robust buinsess practices with dependable networks to mobilise capital
Financial Concepts
Through our organisation, investment initiatives are created using a tough methodology that ensures resources are used efficiently to enable the greatest
social outcome and economic return.
The underlying philosophy of Entrepreneurs Unite is to involve its members in social engagement and provide confidence that their charitable investments are made with solid financial judgment and economic intelligence.
The focus for our first fund is South Africa because it has enormous potential for economic growth, yet suffers continuing poverty, under-development and
social marginalisation.
To ensure that the interests of all parties are respected, Entrepreneurs Unite operates at the heart of the interaction between the member base and the investments
themselves. To achieve this, we employ a unique process of research, networking and deal facilitation.
Entrepreneurs Unite will:
- Identify an area of focus by undertaking a macro-economic, financial and social study
- Conduct research to reach decisions on the allocation of funds between socially- and commercially-structured investments
- Select an appropriate local partner who will support us with deal-flow and investment facilitation
- Short list potential investment opportunities from our research, network and local partners
- Co-ordinate fact-finding trips to view investments first-hand thus enabling informed decisions
- Manage all investments within our proprietary investment vehicle
- Ensure strict diligence, discipline and reporting
