The purpose of this project is to contribute to closing the funding gap for young impact entrepreneurs through a dual approach. On the one hand by enhancing capacity of OCIF fund managers to better identify and mobilize funding for the entrepreneurs they support by broadening their view in the financial spectrum, and open-up to innovative and alternative funding options that exist besides the traditional bank/MFI’s loans and venture capital funding. On the other hand by supporting one cohort of OCIF entrepreneurs in choosing the right funding route for their business, with guidance from the trained OCIF Managers, to put theory directly into practice.
