Since 2022, SecondMuse Capital has partnered with Small Biz Silver Lining, with support from Wells Fargo, to tackle a crucial challenge faced by small business owners—access to property ownership. Through intensive working sessions with small business owners around the world, financial institutions, and stakeholders with varying experiences in mortgage products and property ownership, we've co-designed a one of a kind collective property ownership model. This model is unique: it puts the needs of small business owners first while remaining attractive to investors. With the official handoff complete, Silver Lining is set to pilot this innovative model with at least 10 properties. We're excited to see the positive impact this will have on small businesses, providing them with new opportunities for growth and stability. Check out Carissa Reiniger, Silver Lining's Founder and CEO, share a bit about her experience with the lab and what's next! #SmallBusiness #EconomicDevelopment #PropertyOwnership #FutureEconomyLab #SilverLining #SecondMuseCapital #Capital #venture #finance #SecondMuse

We are excited to announce our collaboration with World YMCA and Generation Unlimited through the Learning to Earning (L2E) Future Economy Lab. Globally, a staggering one in five young people are not engaged in employment, education, or training. At the same time, 87% of employers face now or expect to face a skills gap. To address these urgent challenges we will explore the role of innovative finance in improving employment outcomes for young people. Our goal is to guide more underserved young people beyond skills training and into meaningful employment by increasing the flow of capital to initiatives achieving enduring benefits for youth.

💡 Time to draw the lessons from our Circular Economy Journey in Bengaluru! Together with SecondMuse, the Climate-KIC team just concluded the first Circular Economy Journey in India. This transformative two-week residential event in the city of Bengaluru brought together participants from diverse backgrounds to explore solutions and develop business ideas for circular upstream innovations. A circular business model shifts from the 'take-make-dispose' approach to one that keeps products and materials in use for as long as possible. By focusing on upstream innovation, we can prevent waste before it starts rather than figuring out how to manage it later. The winning team Bloop proposed a circular inhaler, preventing medical waste and demand for virgin raw materials. Here are our top three learnings from this experience: ♻️ Focusing on waste prevention: Upstream innovations focusing on the design, material selection, business models and intended use of products or services are essential for a real circular transformation, as downstream efforts (collection, sorting and recycling) often fail to solve the waste problem effectively. 🤝 Cultivating talent for circularity: There is a need for early-stage circular business ideas in the ecosystem. The Journey programme excels at developing talent for circularity, creating social entrepreneurs and change-makers. 🌱 Instilling a mindset shift towards sustainability in the next generation is vital: The participant’s appreciation for circular economy and sustainability issues is promising for the future as they emerge as leaders in their fields. A big thank you to all participants, coaches Manvel Alur and Ramanathan V, and organisers for their enormous effort and collaborative spirit. 🏁 Our journey is not over! We will be back in Nairobi in November, where GrowthAfrica and Climate-KIC will be running the Journey programme. 👉 Follow us for updates and news. The Journey is a part of the Circular Economy Innovation Cluster in Bengaluru, supported by the IKEA Foundation, pioneering entrepreneurship that drives innovation and social change in the circular economy. #CircularEconomy #InnovationCluster #ClimateEntrepreneurship #Leadership #FutureLeaders #Innovation
