How do you give non-financial support in a successful way? Participants will share technical approaches and personal struggles when working with their investees. How do you engage when the investors’ ambition overcomes the aspiration of the investee? How do you deal with different perspectives on the development or capacity needs of the business you invest in? An interactive workshop on how to best give (and receive) non financial support in the impact space.
Speakers: Nina Miller, Reach for Change (DK); Aimee-Mimi van der Wolde - SEIF (CH); Marjolaine Mandagot - Alphaomega Foundation; Alastair Wilson, School for Social Entrepreneurs (UK).
