Why read it?
1 author picked Adventure Finance as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a great practical read loaded with examples of all the innovative financing approaches that can be used to finance impact and social enterprises in emerging markets.
I had a chance to read and review the book before it was published, and I particularly appreciate how Aunnie is able to distill complex concepts into easy-to-understand prose. The structure of the book, which is organized around different innovative approaches and an extensive glossary of terms, is also very useful.
It is a great read for anyone interested in learning about and deploying alternative financing models.
From Kusi's list on The best books on investing for impact.
