Entrepreneurs

ROI Ventures works with early stage entrepreneurs who have a compelling concept for a product or service that can achieve the double bottom line of social and financial return. ROI Ventures’ work begins with establishing clarity for their mission, business concept, branding and delivery mechanism. ROI then partners with the entrepreneur to execute the business plan by overseeing fundraising, product development and product delivery.

Foundations

ROI Ventures works with foundations that are at a critical stage of program development, and are seeking to either innovate or scale one or more projects. Our work includes vetting current programs, identifying opportunities for innovation or scale, as well as the development of tools for implementing its recommended strategies.

Corporations

ROI Ventures works with corporations that seek to develop their corporate social responsibility initiatives. ROI Ventures brings teams together that have extensive experience with unlocking an organization’s potential without compromising either its business model or social mission.
