overview

The landscape for social ventures is highly fragmented with little information available for investors to make informed decisions or social entrepreneurs to compare best practices in the Asia region. Avantage Ventures is creating a new tool, our Social Venture Catalogue, to enhance transparency in the marketplace. It targets a range of stakeholders, from social entrepreneurs, investors, intermediaries, students, to civil society, academia and government.

The catalogue facilitates positive social exchange and enhances information about social enterprises for all stakeholders. It will help to accelerate industry development that ultimately drives critical investments to local communities in Asia. The catalogue will profile key aspects of a sustainable social enterprises, additional benefits include: 

| Immediately accessing a broad range of information on a wide range of social enterprises that would otherwise be    unavailable or fragmented.

| Social ventures can be searched by country, targeted beneficiaries and mission or all three of these criterias.

| Social ventures profiled are being acknowledged for their achievements and promoted for investment or can advertise for other support.

| Industry sharing of best practices in social development, innovation and entrepreneurship.
