Favafond

FavaFond is offering micro-loans to foreign-born and minority entrepreneurs in Sweden. A large, innovative and resilient group of entrepreneurs that lacks access to capital, advice, training and the networks necessary to start a business and grow. Fostering gender-equalled financial inclusion and business advice can improve ability and opportunities to become self-sufficient and economically active. In turn, empowering them to lead a fulfilling life integrating into Swedish society. Favafond’s mission is to become a key contributor for that change to take place in Sweden and beyond. Since 2019, we have been testing our business idea/model, issuing initial loans as ”proof of concept”. Data has been collected and analyzed to learn customers profiles, preferences and needs. Also, we have been risk mitigating our lending process and adding complementary business services capacity in compliance with Swedish banking/financial regulation. Our national platform of business advisors (i.e. accountants, coaches, etc.) and minority organizations (i.e. Community associations, startup incubators, etc.) has formalized recently. They are key partners to our business to facilitate access to loans for minority groups and support the improvement of our financial products and quality assurance of our lending process. The financial vehicle to raise the capital needed to issue the loans is a social impact fund – Favafond Invest. This fund will be open to private and institutional investors seeking a financial return on their investment as well as social return with measurable results. FavaFond plans to expand its operation to the rest of the Nordic region once its business idea/model has been thoroughly tested in Sweden and a critical mass of clients established.

Inspicasa

The digital service Inspicasa offers several enhancements to the clarification process all property buyers are going through: Firstly: Inspicasa decodes the buyer’s emotional profile and merges the emo-profile with the factual wishes into a complete search profile. The algorithms search all real estate agents sites for properties that match the profile and present the choices to the buyer. Secondly, Inspicasa presents different national or geotagged shops and service-suppliers, offering relevant products to the property buyer. For example; kitchens, furniture, internet, security systems, DIY, garden centers, supermarkets, etc. A ''Yes'' to a property equals ''Yes'' to new suppliers. The business model consists of two cash flow streams: Lead generation to suppliers with individualized focus and vouchers to support retailers and campaigns. 40% of the population that is looking for houses, flats, summerhouses, etc is discontented with the present solutions to browse the real estate market. At the same time, ⅔ of the population looking for a new property is not able to find the matching property. Why? Because the fundamental emo-parameters that control the decision-making is not addressed presently by real estate agents or other market-actors neither digitally nor through classic communication. According to Professor Richard Thaler, Noble Prize winner in Economy in 2017, and Daniel Kahneman and Vernon Smith, Noble Prize winner in Economy in 2002, is every decision based on the emotional perception of your "reality landscape". Regardless of what kind of decision we are talking about. Market research shows that 98% of real estate buyers agree. This opportunity is why we created Inspicasa. Based on algorithms and machine learning the solution optimizes and in a few seconds narrows the search to a few dream homes, much faster than scrolling through hundreds of presentations. Leads and voucher messages are sent to participating suppliers and shops instantly enabling them to act. But what if the decision process has to include 3-4-5 persons? Answer: Inspicasa presents an option, where the buyer merges her or his emotional preferences with for example family members and creates a group profile. The property search presents actual suggestions from top to low match. The idea was created as a result of several discussions about the real estate market, decision-making process, emotional preference, and frustration about the (lack of) exciting services. Jess and Grane have been involved in business development, innovation, and start-ups in many different set-ups. We have a passion for developing, disrupting, and creating concepts, but despite that, it is the first time we have created a project together after knowing each other for more than 10 years. Birgitte was a natural part of the project from day one, Birgitte and Jess are married and Birgitte’s competence as an auth. psychologist was extremely important for the emotional understanding and creating a fundamental part of the solution.
