Stiglitz                                                                                         How to vet your investors – and why you must by Alex Evangelides                                                                                               Prompts:                                                                                                                                                                                                            1) The videos from the Innovative Finance Course will cover potential revenue models often used by impact enterprises; do some of them apply to your organisation?                                                                                                                                                          2) The 4th video from the Innovative Finance Course as well as the reading from the Innovative Finance in Africa Review cover different funding models; do some of them apply to your organisation and if so, how might they be tailored to fit your needs – can you build a straw man of an innovative finance model for your organisation based on the revenue and funding models presented here?                                                                                                                                                                                               3) The reading by Joseph E. Stiglitz is his take on the book ‘Winners Take All’ by Anand Giridharas. Both of them highlight some of the systemic issues of the impact investing / social impact sector by for instance questioning the power dynamics in a system where the elite “reinforces our lopsided economic reality”. Does this take on the impact investing / social impact sector have any relevance to your organisation and experiences?                                                                                                                              4) Speaking of power, the final reading by Alex Evangelides is a call to impact organisations to due diligence their social investors (the vice versa is certain). The article outlines a methodology of how to go about this; is it of relevance to you and your organisations as well your existing and future funder relationships? Time: 2.5 – 3 hours
