What does the Social Business Model Panorama platform offer?

This platform has three different target groups:

  • As a budding social entrepreneur you will receive help to describe your intended beneficiaries and the social problem they experience. We will then help you identify an opportunity to solve that problem and to develop a social business model. Our platform gives you access to a team of experienced mentors who will shepherd you along the way. Moreover, you can invite your supporters and experts form your field to read through and  comment on you business model panorama as it grows.
  • If you are already a social entrepreneur looking to raise start-up funding, you can use our platform to explicitly spell out your business model and to receive feedback from experienced impact investors how to improve your fundraising pitch. Moreover, in regular intervals we will identify the highest potential social business model panoramas and introduce them to potential investors during our Impact Investing Days.
  • Finally, as an established social entrepreneur wanting to replicate and grow your business model, you will get access to a supply of potential partners who would like to replicate your idea in their country or expand your business model to other social problems. In order to create disequilibria and to transform markets you need strong partners. You will be able to grow organically with them, to license your model, or to just share openly your ideas.
