I remember reading the story about the unique partnership that created Grameen Danone in Building Social Business by Muhammad Yunus - and that set off fireworks in my head! Inspired by these joint-venture possibilities, I looked at what we were doing at DreamFund Holdings and explored innovative hybrid business and investment models we could leverage to address our most pressing social issues with market-based solutions. We call them DreamFunds.
While we all eagerly await the materialization of recommendations made by the Canadian Taskforce on Social Finance to unlock more investment into this space, our social issues are mounting and our social entrepreneurs find themselves stuck in the missing middle.
