Impact Amplifier’s new investment readiness program for “eco-innovators” is designed to support specifically the investment needs of entrepreneurs involved in the provision of eco-friendly, environmentally beneficial goods and services. The five-month course will cover:

• Business models and value chains Products,
• services and market access
• Strategic planning Connecting with partners in the business ecosystem, including corporate supply chain and multinational companies, NGOs and government
• Financial modelling and valuation
• Pitching to investors
• Investment case for funding

These subjects provide the needed skills and practical application for the participants to become investment ready. Although the Programme is designed to support investment readiness, it has also been structured to create networks for the participants both amongst themselves and between the lecturers and investors. These networks can form an important part of the entrepreneur’s future success and as such have been consciously woven through the programme’s delivery process.
