Big Issue Invest Spark Challenge: early stage social enterprise investment.
Big Issue Invest Spark Challenge: early stage social enterprise investment. - Project
Project overview
Big Issue Invest will develop a fund that will provide £500,000 seed finance and business support to ten early stage social enterprises. The enterprises selected and guided by mentors from IT-based companies will provide educational phone applications and courses to benefit 5,000 disadvantaged young people. An independent evaluation will test out if this model can be replicated as a self-sustaining social investment in the IT and other business sectors.
