12:00pm - 1:30pm Designing a Capital Continuum: Leveraging development finance for scale
Thursday Mar 1 - Seminar Room B10

Description

The objective of the learning lab is to analyze the role of development capital in catalyzing early stage investment into Small Growing Businesses (SGBs) in Sub-Saharan Africa. The session will include fire-starters (short punchy presentations) from 3 industry stakeholders. These fire-starters and the curated Q&A session will cover the following questions:

1) Which instruments work for which sectors?
2) How can early stage companies graduate from subsidized development capital to sustainable forms of commercial capital
3) Does development capital crowd in private capital or vice versa?
4) What innovative approaches can we use to crowd-in private capital into SGBs?
5) Are there examples of companies that have successfully graduated from development capital dependent to being sustainable profitable and high impact?
