Entrepreneurship Development
We support entrepreneurs to become both “investor ready” and “investor prepared” by positioning them to develop meaningful relationships with relevant funding partners. Module 2 must be completed before qualifying for Module 3. For Module 2 and Module 3all ventures undergo a prescreening process which involves completing Supivaa’s Onboarding Questionnaire to see if they qualify and best understand how Supivaa’s team can support.
Module 1:
360° Business Diagnostic
This comprehensive business assessment will uncover gaps that drag on your profitability, sales growth, and employee morale helping you appreciate the depth and breadth of change required to reach your full business potential.
How we deliver:
A Deep-Dive 360° Review
The 360 Business Diagnostic takes an in-depth review of your business to examine the status of your financials, how well you know your customers, which of your processes have been documented, how you define and perform against impact targets, and how you operate in your market. Our proprietary tool yields tremendous insight from a moderate amount of input.
One on One Business Coaching Consultancy
It’s one thing to know what your goals are but getting there sometimes requires support to keep you on track and give you concrete direction. Transform recommendations into achievements with hourly coaching sessions with our experts. It’s not advice, it’s direction, motivation, and much-needed support.
Strategic Financial Review
The strategic financial review looks at, through, and around your numbers, to see where you shine and where you need help. Past performance, current profitability, and future projections are examined to see where you are on track to achieve your goals, and how attractive you are to investors.
Module 2:
Investor Readiness & Outreach Strategy
These investor sessions will assist you in positioning your business to receive growth capital and build partnership with leading Impact Investors and more specifically Gender-Lens Investors.
How we deliver:
Due Diligence / Corporate Governance Review
Investors look into every nook and cranny before making a decision. Don’t wait until you have an interested investor to find you have come up short. Let us review your due diligence documents, and identify where you need more data, or where the investor case needs more evidence. The first step in getting investor-ready, be as compelling as you can be, and streamline the fundraising process.
Impact and GLI Framework

Investor Outreach Strategy
Successfully attracting investors involves a strong investor narrative, research on the funding market, and identification of target investors. Selecting the type, size, and engagement approach for a potential funder can mean the difference between getting funded or not.
Investor Outreach Collateral Development
Collateral like pitch decks and teasers are the first introduction investors will have of a business. They must be clear, well-designed, and highly compelling to break away from the hundreds of companies that approach investors and get to a yes. Funders are short on time, so the collateral must tell the story well and convince them that you’re a great investment.

These capital raising exercises will help you leverage your funder relationships and receive capital to increase your business growth and increase the quality of gender equality outcomes achieved.

Technical Assistance
We research, design and implement “fit for purpose” technical assistance programmes to unlock new pathways to change. We believe in the power of co-creation, because solutions are best understood by those closest to a problem. Hence why we focus on partnering with local partners and applying adaptive management principles. We mainstream gender equality themes throughout our technical assistance programmes to assure the sustainability of impacts achieved. To maximise results, we often run technical assistance programmes in conjunction with capital deployment activities.
How we deliver:
- Conduct feasibility studies and business planning exercises (i.e. financial forecasts) to assess commercial viability
- Provide business intelligence (i.e. market and product) landscape reports to identify key players, business models and trends
- Oversee piloting of new interventions (i.e. application of innovative technologies, adjustment of investment lifecycle processes and application of diversity, equity, and inclusion coaching)
- Build market linkages between investors and prospective investees (i.e. capital raising, pitch competitions and networking sessions)
- Convene relevant stakeholders (i.e. government agencies, investors, philanthropists and ventures) to test ideas, exchange solutions, and strengthen relations
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning
We provide third-party evaluation of technical assistance projects and impact investment portfolios. Our strengths lie in applying mixed methods and participatory data collection processes to inform multi-factor analyses and a holistic review of results. We leverage diverse multi-stakeholder partnerships to help us make sense of changemaking, promote local ownership of solutions, and optimise performance. We are committed to widely sharing our findings and learnings to improve accountability and advance impactful changemaking, everywhere.
How we deliver:
- Develop practical and robust monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems (i.e. theory of change diagrams, frameworks, tools, case studies and learning reports)
- Analyse results to understand the myriad of contributing factors (i.e. contribution analysis, process tracing, and results measurement analysis)
- Build the confidence and capacity of local practitioners to apply and adapt our evidence-based solutions in-context (i.e. guidebooks and coaching sessions)
- Support knowledge dissemination (i.e. workshops and feedback sessions) to donors and LPs
- Create informative data visualisations to promote greater understanding and uptake of tested technical assistance programmes and impact investment structures
