Funding Impact: A social entrepreneur’s playbook for raising capital in Africa
Please join HAE Africa in a strategic conversation on mobilising catalytic capital for proven social ventures in Africa. Ravi Naidoo, HKS ‘04 and CEO of Youth Employment Service (YES), will share insights on structuring blended finance (grants, debt, equity), aligning investor mandates with measurable outcomes, building partnerships with DFIs/corporates/philanthropy, and execution frameworks for multi‑country scale.
Moderated by Mariam Kone, HBS ‘23, this session is designed for accomplished entrepreneurs focused on impact, sustainability, and growth. Key takeaways: a practical capital stack roadmap, governance/risk mechanisms for institutional capital, and action steps for the next 30/60/90 days.
