Avantage Ventures launches website on June 8, 2009

Avantage Ventures launches the group website on June 8, 2009. The online platform promotes ready-to-invest in ventures  that benefit local communities in Asia in ways that go beyond philanthropy and charity. It offers current information on Avantage Ventures activities but also offers a tool for  investors to access social enterprise profiles and for social enterprises to learn more about best business practice and opportunities. The social  enterprise ventures profiled will have either undergone rigorous consultation by Avantage Ventures team or else been incubated by other  social entrepreneurship practitioners.
 
Avantage Ventures uses a combination of strategic consulting, venture  philanthropy and private equity finance in our approach. Our focus is on  projects in Asia that are designed for social impact but also sustainability some projects may be early stage ideas that require angel investments and  incubation while other ventures may require growth capital and consulting  for further capacity building. Ancillary services will include matchmaking  social enterprises with its network of intrapreneurs for specific business  needs or mentoring.
