Early-Stage Impact Investing in Latin America

Chapter 9 in Social Enterprise in Emerging Market Countries, 2013, pp 185-202 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Early-stage impact investors—those investing at the USD 250,000–500,000 levels during the start-up and early stage of business development—recognize the higher risks that usually accompany early investments in unproven markets. Unlike pioneer donors mentioned in chapter 7 and social investors in chapter 8, impact investments must always generate a financial return, and usually this return must come first. But, like them, they are a bit more patient than purely commercial investors, and are willing to provide longer financing and in some cases, even provide capacity support.
