THE EVPA PRACTICAL GUIDE (3/3) Thanks to the collaboration with LatImpacto Now also available in Spanish and Portuguese!
1. SETTING UP A VENTURE PHILANTHROPY ORGANISATION Funding model • Grant-making / Social investment (through loans, equity, hybrid financial instruments) Organisational structure • Background of the team (balance in between investment sector / social sector) • Role and level of engagement of the board (e.g. management-driven model, mixed model, investor-driven model) Fundraising • Where the resources come from (e.g. own endowment in case of foundations, corporations, governments, High-Net-Worth individuals, institutional investors, etc.)
2. THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY Investment focus • Social sector choices • Geographic choices Type of social purpose organisations to support • Legal structure • Business model • Stage of development Tailored financing and the different types of financial instruments Non-financial support • SPO’s social impact related skills (theory of change / impact strategy / impact measurement) • SPO’s financial sustainability (fundraising / revenue strategy / financial management) • SPO’s organisational resilience (human capital support / governance support) Co-investment policy Start making considerations on the exit strategy
3. THE INVESTMENT PROCESS
3. THE INVESTMENT PROCESS The first step of the appraisal process is a preliminary screening procedure of the investments opportunities available (deal flow), followed by a knock-out screening of the applicants that do not meet the standard application criteria (first screening)
3. THE INVESTMENT PROCESS Detailed screening, which will usually be performed (at least in part) through the analysis and validation of a business plan
3. THE INVESTMENT PROCESS Including: • Preparing the non-financial support plan • Choosing the best financial instrument • Discussing the exit plan
3. THE INVESTMENT PROCESS When the investment is actually managed. The EVPA Guide includes insights of management: • At portfolio level • At the SPO level
3. THE INVESTMENT PROCESS After having previously assessed the different exit possibilities, the VP organisation executes the exit, choosing whom to exit to (e.g. follow-on investors), balancing its own financial and social impact return expectations.
3. THE INVESTMENT PROCESS The investor for impact, after the exit, can continue to provide non-financial support in different forms, such as: • Providing access to networks • Helping the SPO look for follow-on investors • Keeping a seat on the board
PHITRUST INVESTING FOR IMPACT IN EUROPE By Olivier de Guerre
INTRODUCTION • History: • A meeting with Ashoka being launched in France in 2005, • Realising that Social Entrepreneurs needed Capital to develop their business and that classical funds/foundations, wil not provide it, • We launched Phitrust Foundation in 2006 to support and mentor Social Entrepreneurs, • We launched our first Social Investment fund in 2007 “PhiTrust Partenaires”, • We decided to apply Private Equity philosophy to support not for profit & for profit ones, • Our team in France, one of the first to adopt “VP philosophy” and EVPA vision, being convinced that we had to “reinvent” the way social organisations were financed and mentored, • Our vision is “Impact first” meaning that we aim at a social mission and that economic sustainability is a “mean” to develop impact: • It obliged us to change the way we develop capital into those social organisations, • It pushed us to develop a close mentoring, • We developed our own tools for measuring Impact (philosophy that European Investment Fund uses today)
DEPLOYING EQUITY IN THE SOCIAL IMPACT SPACE • First “French Private investors social fund” and French EusEF (European Social Investment Fund), • 50 m € invested in social organisations • Mainly in France, Eu, (80%) but also in Africa & South East Asia, being convinced that social innovation is no longer “geographic” but worldwide with specificities, • In young projects (some start ups) and mostly in accelerating ones, • In many “hybrid” models with not for profit and for profit organisations, • It is Long term investment : We assumed since the beginning that investment will be long term because it is very difficult to manage both ambitions (social and sustainability) in 3/5 years. Therefore: • PhiTrust Partenaires is a company (not a fund) with no end date at the beginning, • Our average duration of investments is 11 years… • Liquidity is organised for 2026 (20 years) but many investors want to continue… • Low risk/Low return: We thought at first that those projects will be very risky. Unfortunately as the market is growing (…) those are not so risky and we discovered: • That our risk was very low (4 failures in 15 years with 37 projects…), • That our expected return was low (3-5%) because we were focusing on social projects.
PROVIDING NON-FINANCIAL SUPPORT • Social enterprises have a double mission: Deliver Impact and Be sustainable… • Non financial support is KEY because it is a real challenge to deliver both… • It is also a way to lower the risk… • Private entrepreneurs invested in our funds (60% of investors) and 14 of them participate actively in the Investment Committee and in the boards of our investees • Support is mainly strategical support as we can call for specific experts, • Support is always given Probono, • Mentor always participate actively in the governance of the supported organisations, • Meetings between our investees and investors are organised at least once a year, to create a “network” with the capacity to use investors own networks for social enterprises that have not the same networks, • Main issue is the cost of mentoring which is not covered by external funding. We have the chance to have Probono support from investors, whuch are entrepreneurs and are very happy to help. They bring strategical value to social entrepreneurs.
MEASURING AND MANAGING IMPACT • Measuring Impact : a long learning process. We looked at many different tools in the last 15 years and built our own referential because we do not found a simple and effective methodology : • Small organisations cannot support long “impact expertise” from outside or deliver “tons” of objectives for the “sake” of investors because they are small organisations with no specific team, • Impact objectives are the heart of their mission. Therefore it must be a strategic tool for the CEO and for the board to “pilot” the organisation : • During due diligence process before investment, we ask the organisation to define 3-5 years objectives, • Those objectives are looked annually and discussed between boards, • They can be revised if there is reasons/issues to do so, • European Investment Fund uses the same methodology and • Has decided that our “carried interest” will be based on the realisation of these objectives, • We decided to give them, if any, to our foundation.
