🌱 Research Nugget! 🌱 In the ever-evolving landscape of impact innovation, understanding the needs and challenges of aspiring impact project implementers is paramount. Research Nugget No. 4 sheds light on a crucial aspect: 95% of impact innovators require seed capital to implement their projects. In today's dynamic marketplace, securing initial funding is often the pivotal factor determining the trajectory of groundbreaking ideas. This statistic underscores the fundamental importance of access to seed capital in translating innovative impact concepts into tangible realities. As we delve deeper into the nuances of impact innovation, it becomes evident that fostering an ecosystem supportive of pre-seed-stage funding is instrumental in nurturing impact innovation and driving economic growth. Let's continue to explore avenues to empower aspiring impact innovators, providing them with the resources and support they need to bring their visions to fruition. Together, we can cultivate a thriving impact innovation ecosystem where ideas flourish and transformative change takes root. #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #SeedCapital #ResearchInsights #BusinessDevelopment #StartupEcosystem #Funding #unsdgs #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #makeadifference #makeadifferencetoday #Researchnuggets #MADImpactInnovators #BorntoMAD #borntomakeadifference #ShiftUNSDGs #Impact #change Elbé Steenkamp Gonzalo Wartjes Project G128C Marius Joubert
