SOCAP10 CONFERENCE GUIDE

WELCOME TO SOCAP10
YOU ARE PART OF THE LARGEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL GATHERING IN THE WORLD OF PEOPLE MAKING SOCIAL ENTERPRISE AND IMPACT INVESTING HAPPEN.

The people around you are putting their money where the world needs it. They are here at Fort Mason with you, nonprofits and for-profit businesses with a mission, with hundreds of investors, donors, foundations, government and development agencies. The Rockefeller Foundation is here, as is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, US AID, OPIC and other development agencies, as well as impact investors, individuals, and funds, from Mexico, the UK, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Nigeria, South Africa, Australia, India, Sweden, and more than 20 other countries. We have also provided scholarships to nearly 100 social entrepreneurs and given them their own space that we call The Clubhouse, where they are meeting partners and peers and perhaps even taking a rest from the relentless hunt for money. All told, more than 35 countries are represented. Were full of announcements this year, including an exciting seed fund for visionaries with a dream and a plan. Its a joint venture between First Light, one of Bob Patillos Gray Ghost family of funds, and the Hub Bay Area. Its going to be a deeply democratic fund, with people able to invest for as little as $5,000. Peoplepowered capital to help turn great ideas into reality and let other enterprises go beyond concept and reach their natural limits, all part of the innovation, the trial and error thats needed to move investing for good to the next

level. Social enterprise is a movement; the way in which it acts like an asset class is only part of where the value is. As Jacqueline Novogratz said to me when she agreed to keynote this years SOCAP, as impact investing proceeds down the path of being validated as an asset class, the one thing that should not be lost is its true purpose. It is supposed to be catalytic; to do the risky, experimental things that traditional capital would not do, and traditional philanthropy or public agencies could not conceive, and it needs to partner with philanthropy and with government. I agree. And thats why we have a greatly expanded focus on tactical philanthropy (thats the new and smart kind) as we try to figure out how we all partner to use the resources and talents we have to do what the planet and the people need to get done. Of course, funding for raw startups is only one part of the Social Capital Market that is emerging, though its an essential one that is finally becoming a reality. We also have a lot of people whose story is at the opposite end of the spectrum: big funds showing Wall Street that there is real investor demand to mix meaning and money. People want to invest in the world that we want to live in, and not invest in a world that is bad for our children or the planet, and Wall Street is getting the message in a much bigger way than ever before.
WELCOME

SOCAP10 IS ABOUT WHATS NEXT

SOCAP10 CONFERENCE GUIDE

The market at the intersection of money and meaning is different than Wall Street. Its a market where everybody can play; Matt Bannick of Omidyar Network calls it flexible capital; putting the right kind of money together, from small personal donations and loans to big grants, to debt, to equity, with everyone understanding their part of the puzzle and the larger goal at stake. Through the new startup, the Hoop, you can be part of the action with the loan you make to XS Project, the Indonesian trash pickers social enterprise who makes our bags. You can help change the world right now with your gift certificate to invest in a high performing Haitian microfinance institution or a Costa Rican Fair Trade sustainably farmed coffee cooperative thanks to MicroPlace. People at our Connection Concierge area can help you take advantage of these and other opportunities to take action today. If you are new to this whole area, or you are attracted to it but dont know how to get involved, if you want to use your skills in a place where what you are good at gives you a new sense of meaning along with a paycheck there is something for you here called LifechangerU. A mix of a university curriculum with small groups and a solid base in multiculturalism, its yet another of the startups announcing its launch at SOCAP10. There are a lot of other announcements at SOCAP10. One of the biggest is the launch of the GIIRS Pioneer Funds, the 25 impact investment funds that this B Lab project has validated, with help from the Rockefeller Foundation and others. There are major investment banks here to say they, and their wealthy clients, are part of this market at the intersection of money and meaning. Three impact investment funds that have reached the magic nine-figure level, more than $100 million, are now ready to talk about how they broke that barrier, and provide lessons for others who want to follow their lead.

There is vitality at the top end and at the emerging startup end of the Social Capital Market, and thats good for us, and good for the world. Startups are finding funding, career changers are finding jobs, and lives are being changed. And put this on your calendar right now. May 31, June 1 & 2, 2011. SOCAP Europe. The markets at the intersection of money and meaning will convene at the original stock exchange in Amsterdam. This historic place where stock markets originated will be infused with the energy that will help the market economy change the world. We are thrilled to be working with our European partners Frank van Beuningen of the Pynwimic Fund and Margaret McGovern, as SOCAP goes international. After three years, its great to see this market emerge and come into its own, complete with high flyers and headline risk. We are not surprised. In year three, I think we can say, with surprise, gratitude, and a nice sense of accomplishment, that SOCAP is proceeding according to our original plan, the one written before we had a logo or a website or were even called SOCAP. Thanks for making it happen with us. And we want you to know we will continue to deliver to you each year whats next, as we talk to all the players in the Social Capital Market and build the content around the conversations you want to have, talking about the things you think are important.

FOOD SYSTEMS
The agriculture and seafood industries are in a state of crisis. Many of todays top environmental, social, and economic problems are caused by how we produce and distribute food. Learn from industry veterans and innovators about the most promising opportunities and critical areas to make an impact in the short-term: systemic solutions for healthy ecosystems, regional foods, international trade, biotechnology, IT, and a strategy session for funders. Note: International food security & sovereignty issues will be discussed in the International Innovation track. Curated by Melanie Cheng, OM Organics Melanie Cheng, an avid environmentalist and fan of good food, sought a way to combine her appreciation of local cuisine with her deep respect for the earth and support for sustainable agriculture. While working as an editor and technical writer, she established relationships with both the farming and restaurant communities, and laid the groundwork for what became Om Organics. Since then, her discovery of the ag sector has led to her founding FarmsReach.com (b-to-b marketplace for regional foods) and recently Catalyst Commons (coming soon) to unwind the tangled network of the ag industry. Melanie was recently named one of Ten Most Inspiring People in Sustainable Food by Fast Company. Special thanks to Track Partner: RSF Social Finance

NEW MONEY
Curated by SOCAP10 Funds focused on the vital, game changing but high risk seed stage

INNOVATION IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


The international development landscape is continuing to evolve at an increasing pace. New business models, game-changing innovations, and rapidly integrating value chains are making developing countries increasingly competitive across a range of industries. At the same time, a growing middle class in historically poor countries is creating unprecedented demand for products and services from all over the world. Sadly, the newly created wealth is not trickling down to the poorest of the poor. Add to this mix, environmental sustainability challenges that developing countries have not had to deal with in the past. All this poses questions that are as daunting as they are exciting: What are the fastest growing industries and markets? How can this growth reach the bottom of the pyramid? Is there a trade-off between economic growth and sustainability? What opportunities does this create for social entrepreneurs?

startups are finally arriving. New online marketplaces, local and slow money exchanges and new ways of thinking about value are bringing the movement to the average investor. Take a deeper dive into new ways of moving money. Look at the world of women investors and investments in women. Hear how energy financing is capturing an untapped opportunity by linking distributors, MFIs and carbon markets. Learn more about different ways of structuring your business to ensure that your employees are part of your triple bottom line. Sponsored by NCB Capital Impact, Nonprofit Finance Fund, and Calvert Foundation / Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) have been pioneers to the Social Capital Market, transforming communities through catalytic financing for years. CDFIs are increasingly engaged across the full spectrum of Social Capital Markets. CDFIs have found alternative approaches to meeting the needs of communities during a time of economic crisis while capitalizing on the current movement of Social Enterprise.

To create a robust and sustainable social capital market we need to have a true continuum of investors and investment vehicles. While a lot of attention has been focused on for-profit social enterprise ventures, there is a rapidly increasing world of community development and nonprofit finance that serves to compliment and round out the established capital markets. Join us to learn how CDFIs are leading the way to increase the flow of capital in the social sector, changing how funders and donors fund nonprofit organizations and are increasingly providing opportunities for philanthropic equity.

Agriculture contributes to the top environmental problems today: shrinking fresh water supply, dead zones in the ocean, depleted soil fertility, fossil fuel pollution, and so on. Farmland itself to produce food is also at risk - disappearing to developers at a rate of ~3 million acres each year. Hear from Jeff Steen, of Ecosa Capital and a successful citrus farmer, about agricultural land conservation and growth, and how to galvanize institutional investors for ag funds and partnerships with agricultural land trusts. Juliet Christian-Smith, Senior Research Associate of Pacific Institute, will then discuss the complexities of our water (and irrigation) supply so driven by policy, and investment opportunities for water monitoring, irrigation scheduling, and better allocation & use of water by municipalities. Lastly, Ricardo Bayon of EKO Asset Management Partners will discuss hot issues and opportunities regarding climate change, carbon and agriculture: emerging environmental markets and preserving ecosystems.

How can we move more capital to increase access to better and higher education both here and abroad? Here from a microfinance platform bringing student loans to countries without access, an organization giving students the opportunity to finance their education using the value of their future income and a venture philanthropy fund raising capital to support promising education entrepreneurs and connecting them targeted urban areas.

In business, scaling requires companies to increase their organizational capacity and output in order to generate greater profits. Nonprofit organizations can scale social impact by not only increasing their own capacity, but also by encouraging other nonprofits to adopt their models. How should social enterprises weigh the trade-offs between scaling their organization or scaling impact through sharing their process with others? Come hear the stories of three organizations that have successfully scaled using entirely different approaches.

Many of the most well known, active participants in the social capital markets are institutions. But individual donors have fewer institutional constraints and can bear more social risk. These types of donors can make decisions faster, are able to act on less popular/ overlooked areas that nevertheless promise big impact, and find it easier to forge collaborations. Join three individual donors who are doing cutting edge work in the social capital markets without the help of a large staff.

However, they do not always reach the potential their ideas deserve. This panel will address how social entrepreneurs can prepare for and fully leverage investment capital. Used optimally, impact investors can help aspiring entrepreneurs improve their operational performance, strengthen their governance, and reach their growth milestones. This panel will also discuss how social entrepreneurs can become investment-ready in terms of measuring and monitoring performance, clarifying goals and milestones, determining how much capital is required and how it will be used, and understanding how investors can help them realize their vision.

For example, there has been extensive negative press in microfinance in association with some IPOs and interest rates charged. How do investors safeguard their reputations?

When individuals connect and pool their resources together, the results can be powerful. From MoveOn.org to Kiva, aggregate demand platforms have proven to be effective models for social change. But what are the limitations? How can platforms integrate to work together for even greater impact? At this interactive session, learn about and provide feedback on the structures, challenges, obstacles, and outcomes of two emerging aggregate demand platforms. Note: This interactive session is designed for participation from investors and major donors.

How can for-profit and non-profit social enterprises work more closely together to amplify their social impact in a profitable way? Join us as we explore one such partnership that leverages the supply chain of Better World Books to convert tens of thousands of books to digital format and make them available to people with reading disabilities through Benetech, while also creating outsourced proof reading jobs for workers in Nairobi, Kenya through Samasource. We will discuss Good Capitals role in initiating this partnership and the subsequent steps taken by the partner organizations to create a value chain that not only amplifies impact but also makes good business sense. We hope that this candid discussion will serve as an inspiring model for other organizations that are seeking similar business partnerships to further their social mission.

While technological advances have driven innovation in nearly every discipline and domain, the space of education seems to have lagged behind. Foundational learning is continually criticized as one size fits all, while the cost of post-secondary education has spiraled out of control. Students demand a new paradigm for learning and a new culturally sensitive set of skills suitable for tackling emerging social problems, yet our schools and colleges are struggling to deliver. This session brings together individuals who are instrumental in shaping new and alternative models for education, in order to explore the future of education from a series of unique perspectives. The goals of the session are to: Illustrate new approaches to design in higher education, and highlight the thoughtleaders in this space; foster a productive dialogue around higher education that explicitly emphasizes a transdisciplinary approach to problem solving; and highlight and describe some of the largest opportunities in the education space, in a way that makes these opportunities clear for entrepreneurs, funding agencies, and policy makers.

Many consumers have heard of Certified Fair Trade but how do we help scale both supply and demand? We need to increase the capacity of sustainable producers, while educating more consumers of the benefits of purchasing fairly & sustainably produced foods. Deborah Hirsh of The Hoop Fund will start by discussing the need to increase capital for fair trade producers as well as new platforms that allow consumers to invest in producers and simultaneously increase demand. Mathieu Senard of AlterEco will then discuss the benefits of bringing processing closer to origin and product marketing to build awareness and sales.

SJF Advisory Services and Endeavor work with highimpact entrepreneurs to maximize their success. Through this work, both organizations strive to nurture and support entrepreneur-centered investment ecosystems in which entrepreneurs, investors, and employees are all incentivized to help companies thrive and grow. Both entities have developed strategies to engage employees at assisted entrepreneurial firms and, where possible, to share company equity so that employees at all levels share in company success. Equity sharing strategies may include broad based stock options, ESOPs, profit sharing, or restricted stock; feasible structures vary by company and by market. SJF Advisory Services and Endeavor will provide overviews of broad-based equity sharing strategies used by each entity with assisted entrepreneurs, and then a US-based and an emerging market-based entrepreneur will illustrate how these strategies have played out at their firms.

G O L D E N G ATE

Philanthropic institutions and other social mission organizations are providing critical investment in the green jobs movement. The social sectors active support in helping shape and expand the green economy is especially important to ensuring equity and opportunity - as well as innovation - in that transformation. Their funding is the risk capital and glue money that is essential to the success of start up companies and coalitions everywhere. Social investors are putting capital into a wide range of activities that includes support for organizing and advocacy, investment in research, seed funding for business expansion and sectoral strategies to transform local labor markets. Beneficiaries run the gamut from labor unions to community groups and from private employers to government agencies. This panel will convene a diverse group of national leaders in the social investment community who are helping capitalize and scale green jobs, careers and markets. They will talk about current practices, emerging trends, cutting edge opportunities on the horizon and where they, and the larger field, see the greatest opportunities and challenges going forward.

The Food System desperately needs effective projects that address the need for sustainable production, distribution of regional products, fair trade, and much more. Funders, private and foundation, need to know which of the hundreds of proposals that cross their desk are going to actually work. This session will help you to: Choose the right parts of the food system to invest in; Identify the right project types and models; Choose the organizations with the capacity to deliver; Find the right collaborators to leverage your investment; and Measure success and build metrics to monitor progress. Our panel (comprised of a foundation, VC, and angel) will kick things off with their experiences of effective investments in the food system - what made them work and what can you learn. Joseph McIntyre of Ag Innovations Network will moderate. We will then turn things wide open in a town hall dialogue on what is working (and not) in funding change in the food system. Not to be missed.

McKinsey & Cos Learning for Social Impact initiative has identified 5 best practices for measuring social impact. Explore whether these best practices resonate with social entrepreneurs. Do Impact First and Finance First social entrepreneurs see social impact the same way? Do they measure it the same way? This interactive session features 2 social entrepreneurs, one investor and one thought leader. All session participants have a chance to contribute their views and help answer these questions.

Over the last few years, mainstream nonprofit analysts and rating groups have moved beyond simplistic metrics like the overhead expense ratio. Join three of these groups, Root Cause, GiveWell and Charity Navigator as they present their analysis of a single, high profile nonprofit.

KEVIN JONES
Convener, SOCAP10 Kevin Jones has been a successful serial entrepreneur, building information businesses in emerging industry and technology markets. His sweet spot is when the value is obviously present, but not yet clearly defined and has to be discovered in face to face conversation. He has been part of creating market defining publications, conferences and analysis services in internet market places and now social capital markets. Success, to Kevin, for a conference like SOCAP10 is when people from different sides of the marketplace, say an NGO and an impact investment fund, learn to speak the same language and achieve a common goal on a project. He is proud to see groups maximize social and environmental impact faster and smarter than it could have been done through the new, and innovative collaborations that occur based on people meeting and discovering each others value at SOCAP.
