Journal Title: Role of Higher Education Institutions in Society: Challenges, Tendencies and Perspectives - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify how social impact investment from Norway can be a resource for social entrepreneurs internationally. The research will introduce criteria’s investors have, steps that can be taken towards social impact investment and what kind of investment models that can be tested. A main problem for social entrepreneurs is funding and financial sustainability. Investment from the start is crucial in order to create a sustainable business. My hypothesis is that investors and the government need to create new investment models to encourage social entrepreneurs. The results of this research can be used to bridge the gap between investors and social entrepreneurs. The research consisted of interviews, questionnaires and papers written on the subject investment and social entrepreneurship. As data collection, interviews have been made with investors in private and governmental investment companies. The findings in the interviews were then discussed with the findings in papers on the topic. Results indicate that there is a willingness among investors to invest in social entrepreneurs. The biggest differences are between private and governmental investors. Answers show that private investors have to take the first step.
