Entrepreneurial power creates productive business opportunities for resourceful people who work in challenging environments
Entrepreneurs Unite only invests in businesses and projects that demonstrate a combination of commercial sustainability and substantial social impact.
Our investment process is designed to identify opportunities and quickly engage local expertise at minimal cost. The process engages a cycle of actions that include a market review, deal sourcing, deal making, business incubation, and investment impact assessment.
Members of Entrepreneurs Unite will, in time, be able to invest in emerging markets all over the world.
South Africa has been selected as our first market because it has enormous potential for economic growth, yet still suffers pronounced poverty, under-development and social marginalisation. In addition to the diverse range of commercial investments, South Africa also provides opportunities to invest in innovative social enterprises in the fields of Health, Education and Child Welfare.
