Jerry Peloquin said… - Christian - I am an organizational psychologist, my partner is a CPA (professional accountant) and former Financial Officer for The Grameen Foundation USA. We would share information with anyone who would serve the poor. It seems we may have much in common. Presently we are in communication with The Argidius Foundation on a project in Mali. In any event, we should talk...my Skype is: agidigm, my cell is: 410.227.0498, and my email is: jpeloquin@vicroventuresupport.org
We look forward to hearing from you.

I actually may have some advice for you. Is this a Swiss company? If not, where is it based?

Anay Shah said… - Hi Christian,
USAID is not known to make equity investments or provide seed capital for enterprises, however it routinely does give grants to SMEs and microenterprises that meet its poverty reduction objectives. It is a very decentralized agency so it would depend on what country you are thinking about starting the venture and who it would benefit. SVCs or Good Capital or folks at SOCAP might be better equity partners - USAID is more focused on direct support to its beneficiaries (local communities or governments in the developing world). If, for example, it was a wholly-owned South African company whose operations directly benefit women and vulnerable children, then it would be a candidate for grant funding from the South Africa Mission.
Hope that helps a bit,
Anay

- Hi Christian,
The Body Shop Foundation does exist, and is a legally separate entity from The Body Shop International (we are now part of the L'Oreal Group since 2006). We provide most of the Foundation's funding - but they make their own decisions. Whether or not they would want to invest in a social venture capital company, can't say. Best to contact them at www.thebodyshopfoundation.org. Good luck.
