Social Impact Public Offering (Sipo)

SIPO is a hybrid fundraising model for early-stage social businesses. SIPO combines aspects of traditional commercial and philanthropic fundraising to diffuse contribution risk, increase transparency, and bridge pre- and post-revenue gaps. Through SIPO, selected quality social businesses are led through a fundraising process whereby undirected, growth capital is sought from both institutional and individual contributors. This process will ensure that early-stage social businesses can have access to necessary financing.
