Our Business Model
Together with our philanthropic investors, we support the start of social businesses. We concentrate on solutions that contribute to the global water challenges. Our core knowledge is the evaluation of business plans and business models. We connect philanthropic investors with project partners. If successful, capital is returned and can be re-invested. One financial contribution can potentially generate a multiple impact.
