SAV’s objective is to help scale the solutions with the highest impact potential by connecting solutions from highly innovative ecosystems with capital and other support that can be accessed in relatively more advanced impact investing ecosystems. If we can connect ecosystems to scale-up solutions we can achieve impact at a global scale.
In social impact, groundbreaking solutions tackling our most pressing challenges often emerge from unexpected corners. These innovations frequently struggle to reach their full potential, lacking the resources and connections needed to scale. This is also reflected in the persistent annual gap estimated at $3.5 trillion to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the year 2030. This highligths the challenge to scale promising solutions and linking them where the greatest needs are.
SA Ventures (SAV) seeks to serve as be a catalyst bridging the gap between effective impact solutions and the support and capital they need to thrive. We connect innovative solutions from emerging ecosystems with the advanced capital and expertise found in established impact investing communities. By fostering powerful connections both online as well as offline, SAV helps the growth of solutions poised to make a real difference, driving positive change where it is most needed.
