Social Innovation. Social Entrepreneurship. Impact Investing.
We are the first center for
social innovation.
We believe that social value can generate economic value.
Why
Social Innovation?
Social innovation not only improves communities but also pushes businesses in the direction of sustainability growth and relevance.
Social innovation means being able to address societies’ challenges through solutions that create social progress.
Creating social progress is siding with the change that is happening through social innovation, acceleration and social entrepreneurship.
What does
acceleration mean?
Acceleration is a development method that places an iterative pace on the testing of ideas, products, services, solutions.
The acceleration of startups is enhanced and complemented through the instrument of financial investment.
SocialFare applies the acceleration method by integrating it with the methodological approaches of design for Social Innovation and developing actions to accompany the development of skills, strategies and design experimentation with social impact: knowledge acceleration.
Why do we invest inimpact entrepreneurship ?
We believe in impact investing as a means of engagement that we can make today for the development of sustainable solutions for contemporary and future human societies by placing the intentionality to generate positive, measurable and scalable social and environmental impact at the center of business and investment action.
Where do we build
new connections?
Working together brings us further apart, amplifies the possibilities of the individual and realizes new possibilities for learning, exchange, collaboration and evolution .
Through an open and dynamic ecosystem, we engage places and people, implement activities in connection in a physical and virtual place. Through Social Renaissance, a convergence network of people, organizations, associations, startups, businesses, funds, and institutions, we multiply capacities to pursue goals based on the same value principles, strengthening individuals and generating new communities of practice.
We place people at the center of co-design processes by integrating the method of acceleration with the methodological approaches of Social Innovation.
