The fields of Social Entrepreneurship and Venture Philanthropy have been increasingly discussed in the scientific literature. The former concerns organisations at the crossroad between business and social worlds, which want to produce social or environmental impacts. The latter uses techniques borrowed from the fields of business and finance and applies them to philanthropy in order to support more efficiently socially-oriented innovative organisations. Both are developing relatively new disconcerting practices. However, their interaction raises a number of questionings and, as far as we know, very few academics have already studied the matter. Therefore, we aim to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon through this Master Thesis and, especially, to investigate the ideal-type Social Enterprises’ characteristics being championed in the Venture Philanthropy sector. To do so, this work first reviews transversally, according to the Social Enterprises’ schools of thought, the available academic literature on Venture Philanthropy, analyses a specific case-study in depth, and compares their different Social Enterprise’s visions. From a theoretical perspective, we affirm that every paper conveys a “hybrid” ideal-type, which matches features from multiple schools. From the practice perspective, our results show that the vision is also hybrid and that it does not entirely match the theoretical ones. Additionally, our Thesis provides encouraging results, such as new ideal-type features, which allows us to believe that further research regarding other cases would generate more characteristics, and progressively shape more accurately the ideal Social Enterprises’ visions promoted in Venture Philanthropy.

At a time when uneven power dynamics are high on development actors’ agenda, this book will be an important contribution to researchers and practitioners working on innovation in development and civil society.While there is much discussion of localization, decolonization and ‘shifting power’ in civil society collaborations in development, the debate thus far centers on the aid system. This book directs attention to CSOs as drivers of development in various contexts that we refer to as the Global South. This book take a transformative stance, reimagining roles, relations and processes. It does so from five complementary angles: (1) Southern CSOs reclaiming the lead, 2) displacement of the North–South dyad, (3) Southern-centred questions, (4) new roles for Northern actors, and (5) new starting points for collaboration. The book relativizes international collaboration, asking INGOs, Northern CSOs, and their donors to follow Southern CSOs’ leads, recognizing their contextually geared perspectives, agendas, resources, capacities, and ways of working. Based in 19 empirically grounded chapters, the book also offers an agenda for further research, design, and experimentation.Emphasizing the need to ‘Start from the South’ this book thus re-imagines and re-centers Civil Society collaborations in development, offering Southern-centred ways of understanding and developing relations, roles, and processes, in theory and practice.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
