The Impact Investors’ Foundation (IIF) will host the IIF Annual Deal Summit on November 30 in partnership with Impact Amplifier and is looking for investment-ready businesses to submit.
Impact Amplifier will assist the customized investment-readiness arm of the programme, which will focus on addressing investment-readiness gaps and unique needs of companies in order to have both impact and investment-ready before the event.
The initiative’s goals are to prepare social entrepreneurs to become investment-ready in order to access funding from a variety of investor partners; expose participants to impact investors and match them during a deal summit, and accelerate quality deal flows within the impact investing community while also supporting quality investment pipelines for impact investors.
Successful applicants must have been in business for at least two years, be commercially viable, have a clear impact focus or orientation, have not raised more than US$5 million from outside sources, be seeking a ticket size of between US$200,000 and US$5 million, and commit senior company executives, preferably the CEO, to take a significant role in training and matching activities.
Until August 15, applications are open. The Deal Summit will take place on November 30th, and the winners will be revealed on September 6.
