TWO FEET<br />

Over a 6-month period we work with<br />

social enterprises to further develop<br />

their business model and critical<br />

skills and disciplines to running their<br />

enterprise and becoming investable.<br />

We have refined our capacity<br />

building work over the years to<br />

ensure that we add<strong>res</strong>s the current<br />

market needs.<br />

Our Two Feet Program is the most<br />

effective way to begin building<br />

capacity in the emerging social<br />

enterprise market and provides<br />

invaluable insight into potential future<br />

Investable Social Enterprises (ISEs).<br />

Two Feet is the starting point to<br />

spotting winners!<br />

To add<strong>res</strong>s some of the key needs<br />

we have uncovered in social<br />

enterprises over the years we have<br />

developed our program to help them<br />

“stand on their own two feet”.<br />

<strong>First</strong>ly, Two Feet helps build an<br />

organisation’s understanding<br />

and capacity on their journey to<br />

becoming investable. Secondly,<br />

for those social entrepreneurs<br />

experiencing the age-old problem<br />

of isolation, our program is designed<br />

to help support and connect them<br />

to others who are also working to<br />

develop their organisations.<br />

This six-month program is structured<br />

into fortnightly group sessions and<br />

a monthly one-on-one coaching<br />

session. Together we explore the<br />

key aspects that are needed in<br />

order to grow an Investable Social<br />

Enterprise (ISE). <strong>The</strong> topics we work<br />

on include:<br />

• Intent<br />

• <strong>The</strong>ory of change<br />

• Value Proposition<br />

• Piloting and Prototyping<br />

• Investment 101<br />

• Social Outcomes Measurement<br />

• Financial Modelling<br />

• Funding Options<br />

• Governance<br />

• Branding and Marketing<br />

• Whole of Enterprise reporting<br />

• Pitching to investors<br />

In 2016 we will be launching our<br />

Two Feet Program in Sydney and<br />

Brisbane in partnership with NAB.<br />

This expansion will not only help<br />

us gain visibility of enterprises in<br />

different regions that we can assist<br />

to become investable it will also help<br />

us increase the base level capacity<br />

of more enterprises as we attempt to<br />

increase the maturity of the market.
