Frequently asked questions
How does SocialFare source its investment opportunities?
SocialFare sources primarily through its own acceleration programs and ecosystem network, Rinascimenti Sociali, which connects non-profits, corporations, foundations, and public institutions. The firm's tripartite model—knowledge acceleration, entrepreneurship support, and investment—generates proprietary deal flow by identifying and developing social-impact startups from the idea stage onward, rather than relying on external referrals or market searches.
Is SocialFare a venture capital fund, a foundation, or an accelerator?
SocialFare operates as a hybrid structure: an impact investor with a venture capital mandate, an accelerator for social startups, and a center for social innovation knowledge. It is not a foundation, but its investment decisions are bound by intentionality toward measurable social and environmental outcomes alongside financial returns, creating an integrated model unique in the Italian market.
