Abstract

Social finance (SF) may be in a good position to provide the resources impact-driven ventures (IDVs) need to effectively innovate and scale. However, little is known about the way SF experts conceptualise and align the resources they provide to IDVs. In this paper we investigate (1) the tools SF experts apply to guide business model development of their investees and (2) the activities they perceive as value-adding or value-subtracting. Findings suggest that different strategies for business model advice are adopted, reflecting a spectrum of investor involvement levels, and that a wide range of activities have the potential to either add significant value to IDVs or detract them from their goals.
