The Investable Social Entrepreneur

We want to see a world where those social enterprises capable of providing alternative, innovative and thorough business solutions to social need are able to access capital which provides them with the capacity they require and buys them time to find and develop markets for the social impact they can deliver.

In the book we describe the reality of current social finance funding from the standpoint of the social enterprise. We explain why we think the money that is currently on offer doesn’t fit with what is required – it is the wrong sort of money.

The authors have each applied over 2 decades of experience, respectively as a social enterprise practitioner, and as a professional investor, to understand what the right sort of money for funding social enterprise will look like. We call this money Builder Capital.

This book explains what Builder Capital is, why it is needed, the difference it will make and how we plan to contribute to the development of a market for it.
