Creating Inclusive Business “Unicorns”
Supporting positive, impactful innovation has long been the focus of impact investors. Still, many are expressing concerns that their investees fail to achieve sustainable impact at a scale commensurate with the problems they tackle. While entrepreneurs’ will and skill may explain this situation, we have found that in many cases, strategies and business models themselves are not fit for scaling sustainably and rapidly.
Based on Hystra's experience evaluating and supporting hundreds of social enterprises, we have developed a practical checklist to help entrepreneurs and their investors assess - and enhance - the potential of a venture to achieve sustainable impact at scale.
In this webinar, hosted by Impact for Breakfast on September 8th, 2021, Olivier Kayser, our founding partner, presents and illustrates this checklist, covering three key topics:
Offering a holistic yet frugal value proposition
Designing a sustainable and scalable business model, and
Igniting an exponential growth engine
