In development with AVPN members and partners, the Investment Readiness Toolkit aims to set a common language between funders, intermediaries and Social Purpose Organisations (SPOs) around investment readiness. Building on AVPN’s Deal Share, it is a platform that equips SPOs with the relevant resources to strengthen their non-financial capabilities and matches their needs to different stages of funding along the continuum of capital. Members can subsequently better develop strategies to deploy their resources.
In partnership with AVPN members, we look at how Village Capital‘s VIRAL (Venture Investment-Readiness and Awareness Levels) Pathway can help in presenting investment readiness profiles. Throughout this project, AVPN will bring on other social investors and intermediaries in the network to strengthen the accuracy in matching capital requirements.
This roundtable will:
- Convene regional funders, intermediaries and SPOs to discuss the meaning of Investment Readiness in the current context.
- Review the VIRAL Pathway with the stakeholders.
- Glean understanding of the commonalities in assessing investment readiness and how these can be harnessed to bridge social investment.
Join us to build a vibrant impact investment community across Asia!
