“The world of impact isn’t short of money, we’re short of (high) risk capital”
I’m so grateful to have had this enlightening conversation with Frank Aswani, Chief Executive Officer of the African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA) on how philanthropy fits into the for-profit picture and where it gets off the bus.
We also discussed, among other topics, why Africa should be the testing ground for global start-ups, why we need to be comfortable making profit while we serve our people, and Frank’s take on a business idea that could be game changing!
