Primer to Practice: Empowering Jordan’s Start-up Ecosystem
Like a lot of countries around the world, Jordan had caught the start-up bug. And, why not? It seems a powerful way to empower entrepreneurship and grow the economy. Jordan also wanted to attract investment. Looking to learn more about impact investment and private equity, the government turned to Expectation State, a development consulting firm, which turned to WhiteLabel. WhiteLabel launched a study, focusing on the intersection of private capital, impact investment and where investor wants might meet Jordan’s needs. WhiteLabel presented the findings to Jordan’s Ministry of Finance. As a follow-on activity, WhiteLabel was asked to lead an innovation sprint, working with first-time fund managers on developing investment theses and the operational skills needed to successfully raise capital and manage a fund. “WhiteLabel blends rich experience with an ability to deliver pragmatically in a consultancy setting, for a range of host government and international donor clients,” said Expectation State’s CEO Raymond Asfour. “And, they are a lot of fun to work with.”
Bridging the Knowledge Gap: M&A in Sustainable Finance
A leader in financial data caught the sustainability bug. Figuring it was a powerful market, from a financial and social perspective, it wanted to create a division focused on sustainable finance data. Problem was, it did not really understand the sustainability market, the regulatory landscape, and it almost completely lacked a framework or bedrock of knowledge to judge the risks and rewards. It reached out to a WhiteLabel partner, who was a pioneer in the space. After an initial assessment of the company, they suggested that instead of building a new division, the data provider buy an existing company—it would be cheaper. The partner was hired to lead the M&A assignment, developing the strategy, identifying, and screening, potential targets, leading the outreach campaign and initial meetings, helping perform due diligence and was part of the deal team that successfully negotiated and closed the transaction.
Unlocking Growth: How Innovative Finance Can Fuel Ukraine's Small Farms
Smallholder farmers in Ukraine held massive potential, but their growth was stifled by limited access to innovative financing. To address this, Chemonics Ukraine sought WhiteLabel's expertise. We delved into global best practices in Innovative Agriculture Financing, conducting extensive research, interviews, and case study analysis. Our findings were distilled into a comprehensive primer, providing critical insights for tailored funding strategies designed specifically for lesser developed economies, equipping Chemonics with a strategic resource to identify and implement practical funding solutions. The impact: A USAID Head of Economic Growth, with over two decades of experience, lauded the primer as one of the best they'd encountered and how “strategic research and knowledge sharing can unlock growth and transformation for communities in need.”
Pre-Adapting a Global Industry to Disruptive Change to Bolster its Commitments to Safety
Responsible Care is the chemical industry's global voluntary initiative since 1985 under which companies, through their national associations, work together to continuously improve their health, safety, and environmental performance and communicate with stakeholders about their manufacture and supply of safe and affordable goods that bring real benefits to society. Twenty-five years after it was created, the framework of commitments needed a fundamental refresh to reflect social, economic, technology, and other trends that have reshaped the world. A WhiteLabel partner was brought in to lead research on the major drivers of change affecting the industry and work with leaders in signatory companies to develop ideas for new investments and other commitments that would enable the industry to continue improving its environmental protection, occupational safety and health, plant safety, product stewardship, and logistics performance in light of these change forces. The result was a proposed new vision, mandate, and standards for what one executive dubbed a “Responsible Care 2.0” fit for the future.
