Most funders aspire to be good stewards of their resources, but what does it mean to operationalize stewardship in grantmaking? In this episode, AVPN Academy's Siddharth Chatterjee speaks with Amit Antony Alex, Investment Director at Dovetail Impact Foundation—a Christian faith-aligned family foundation supporting healthcare, education, livelihoods, and access to justice across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Africa. Here, we learn about how the phrase “love in action” informs Dovetail's approach to stewardship and the ways in which the foundation embraces innovation to be a good steward. This brings us to a discussion on unrestricted grantmaking, scalability in impact, and a practice called “re-risking”, through which Dovetail foundation pushes itself to take the uncomfortable risks that most grantmakers might avoid. Learn more:Dovetail Impact Foundation: https://dovetailimpact.org/ AVPN's Faith and Giving Initiative: https://avpn.asia/capital-for-impact/faith-and-giving/

Advise, the data, analytics and AI platform provider helping retail manufacturers and brand owners to unlock revenues and margin growth, has announced that it has raised €1.55M in funding as it continues its aggressive international growth. Following a year of 250% growth in revenue, the funding will be used to support the company's global expansion plans, which will see Advise double its headcount in the next 12 to 18 months. Despite a turbulent few years - exacerbated by Brexit, COVID-19 and geopolitical uncertainty -the global consumer goods market has continued to grow year-on-year, helped by a focus on digital transformation to meet changing market needs. Advise's growth has been inspired by this movement as manufacturers seek data-driven solutions for their operations, which can lead to margin growth and better, data-driven pricing strategies with retailers. These can include new product development, promotional and non-promotional pricing, and discounts and offers. Advise, the trading name for RecommenderX, was founded by Dr Kevin McCarthy and John Phelan. The company has developed an AI-powered SaaS platform that harmonises sales, inventory and customer data from multiple sources - making it the go-to platform for easily accessible, accurate data analytics. In doing so, it provides manufacturers and brand owners - such as Pilgrims Europe, Dr Oetker (Ireland) and Britvic - with the actionable insights needed to grow their market share and plan mutually beneficial pricing strategies for retailers and consumers. It also gives manufacturers the ability to compare product performance across retailers and benchmark themselves against competitors - therefore ensuring they are making the best possible returns. Advise's funding round was led by Business Venture Partners (BVP) through their EIIS fund and supported by existing investors, including ACT Venture Capital, Elkstone, Enterprise Ireland, and a group of private investors. The investment will help Advise to meet, and capitalise on, the rise in demand for its platform by increasing its presence in Ireland, the UK and the US. Maintaining its focus on an intuitive user experience and speed to insights, the company will pursue its expansion plan with a greater focus on sales and marketing in each location, along with a larger development team. The new roles, which will be located in all three markets, will be in the areas of sales, engineering and data science. Dr Kevin McCarthy, CEO and co-founder, Advise, said: "For decades, retailers have been leveraging their data to determine product pricing strategies, while manufacturers have lacked the insights to have any meaningful influence. With pressure on retailers to consistently drive down consumer costs - especially now amidst the ongoing cost-of-living crisis - this can leave manufacturers with no bargaining chips and very low margins. "Our easy-to-use AI platform democratises and simplifies the data analytics process and will drive greater competition in retail. It addresses a previously unmet need, and the new funding reflects a market confidence in this solution. The investment, and our partnerships with our investors, will be critical in bringing Advise to the next stage of our journey." Andrew McGreal, Investment Director, Business Venture Partners (BVP), said: "Retailers and their manufacturers operate in a traditional industry, but with a very complex data ecosystem. Historically, this combination made data analytics and the ability to unearth actionable insights at pace a challenge. The Advise platform, built specifically for this purpose and industry, enables better decisions and lightning speed to reveal real insights at a low cost of ownership. It's a game changer for the industry. We have been hugely impressed by the team in Advise and what they have built so far and are thrilled to be supporting their plans for expansion."

FirstGroup is a leader in environmental and social sustainability; it has a long-term commitment of achieving a fully zero-emission fleet by 2035. This venture investment aligns with FirstGroup's focus on supporting innovative technologies within the decarbonisation value chain, aimed at lowering the total cost of ownership ("TCO") for electric buses to be equal to, or even lower than internal combustion engine ("ICE") alternatives. Faizan Muhammad, Investment Director of FirstGroup Energy Limited, said: "This transaction represents our first venture investment and is consistent with our focus on accessing new and innovative solutions through targeted investments. KleanDrive's cutting edge technology offers a complementary option, and greater coverage, to support fleet operators in their decarbonisation efforts." Repowering heavy diesel vehicles - such as buses, coaches, and trucks - into electric vehicles offers a smarter, faster, and more sustainable solution than purchasing new EVs. It preserves existing vehicles, reduces the environmental impact of producing new ones, and speeds up the transition to zero-emission fleets. This innovative approach not only saves the embedded carbon in these vehicles but also allows fleet operators to decarbonise quickly and cost-effectively. KleanDrive's OEM-agnostic, modular electric drivetrains combine next-generation technology from top-tier suppliers like CATL, Graysons, and Voith with deep engineering expertise. This flexible, bespoke solution allows any heavy vehicle to be quickly repowered to electric, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership and cutting emissions, all while offering fleet operators a faster route to zero emissions. Joe Tighe, CEO of KleanDrive, said: ""We are delighted at FirstGroup's investment and as part of this we welcome Faizan Muhammad onto the board as both a strategic investor and a partner in driving the future of zero-emission transport. We are offering fleet operators across the UK a real, actionable pathway to decarbonise - without waiting years for new vehicles. Repowering existing fleets with the latest electric technology allows operators to extend vehicle life, reduce emissions, and materially lower costs."" KleanDrive's electric repowering approach offers fleet operators a solution that is not only flexible and customizable, but also environmentally and economically superior. By converting existing vehicles to electric, operators can drastically reduce emissions, lower operational costs, and extend the lifecycle of their current fleets, making it the fastest, most cost-effective way to transition away from fossil fuels.

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing healthcare, but what if the real danger lies in the industry's carbon footprint?Despite healthcare's purpose of saving lives, the industry contributes up to 10% of CO2 emissions in developed countries. Can patient care and sustainability go hand in hand, or are we risking the planet's health for human survival?In this episode, Jordi Ferrer Rendé, Investment Director at Ship2B Ventures, reveals why healthcare's environmental impact is often overlooked and how intentional, impact-driven investing can reshape the future.

Miguel Laranjeiro, Investment Director at abrdn, says we are seeing "the beginning of a robust in-flow cycle into the muni space," noting that credit spreads and all-in yields are attractive and that the value of the tax exemption will particularly pay off now. He says he expects the Federal Reserve's long-awaited rate cuts will end the longest yield curve inversion ever for municipal bonds. Once the yield curve has normalized, Laranjeiro expects leverage costs to become a positive for the total return of levered muni funds, creating an additional impetus for investors.

Caio is pioneering a breakthrough technology that allows users to link their bank accounts and credit cards to their fingerprints, making payments as simple as a touch.Caio shared how his idea came from a real-life frustration. He was on a run in San Francisco and couldn't buy coconut water because he didn't have his wallet, phone, or watch. This led him to question why we rely on external tools to authorize payments and how to create a more secure, fraud-resistant system.OVE Touch & Go aims to solve these problems using fingerprint technology, offering both convenience and security. "We use a sensor called capacitive technology, which is the one the iPhone used to have... And also, we are moving to another technology called ultrasonic fingerprint technology that... doesn't matter if your finger is dirty, wet with oil. It doesn't matter," Caio explained.The company is now raising capital through a crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. As Caio noted, "It's a very democratic way of investment... And it's a proof of concept to people investing." This innovative approach could be a game-changer for the future of payments.The vision Caio shared is compelling. Imagine walking into a store, selecting your items, and paying effortlessly with just a touch. OVE Touch & Go is bringing that future closer than we might think.tl;dr:* Inspiration for Innovation: Caio Buchalla, CEO of OVE Touch & Go, was inspired to create a fingerprint-based payment system after experiencing the inconvenience of being unable to buy coconut water during a run without his phone, wallet, or watch.* Secure and Simple Payments: The technology developed by OVE Touch & Go allows users to link their bank accounts and credit cards to their fingerprints. This simplifies transactions and enhances security, reducing the risks associated with traditional payment methods.* Advanced Fingerprint Technology: To address challenges like dirty or altered fingerprints, the company uses advanced sensors, including capacitive and ultrasonic fingerprint technologies, ensuring reliable identification under various conditions.* User Convenience and Rewards: OVE Touch & Go offers a feature called "OneTouch AI" that intelligently selects the best credit card for each transaction, maximizing rewards for users without requiring them to keep track of complex points programs.* Crowdfunding for Growth: The company is currently raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. This provides a democratic way for individuals to support and invest in the company's vision for a simpler, more secure payment system.How to Develop Seeing Simplicity As a SuperpowerCaio's superpower is his ability to see the simplicity in complex situations. He believes the world is too crowded with information and noise, and he has honed the skill of cutting through that clutter to find simple, elegant solutions. This approach helps him develop products and services that align with the minimalist lifestyle many people are beginning to seek.Caio shared a story from his childhood in Brazil that exemplifies his superpower. At 13, he had the simple yet profound idea to collect donations for planting trees in the Amazon rainforest, promoting sustainability. Later in life, he applied this same principle of simplicity to his decision-making process. For instance, when he decided to pursue his master's degree in the U.S., he didn't overthink it. He simply applied, got accepted, and moved forward without hesitation.Tips for Developing the Superpower:* Look for Crowded Spaces: Identify areas in your life or work that feel overcrowded with information or processes. Ask yourself if there's a simpler, more efficient way to achieve the same goal.* Take the First Step: Don't overthink decisions. When you have an idea, act on it rather than dwelling on it. "One day or day one—you decide," as Caio puts it.* Practice Deep Thinking: Spend time contemplating problems deeply to uncover their simplest solutions. Often, simplicity is not immediately obvious and requires deliberate exploration.* Focus on the User Experience: Consider how people naturally want to live their lives. Develop solutions that make things effortless and free people from unnecessary complexities.By following Caio Buchalla's example and advice, you can make seeing simplicity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

The story of China's economy and stock market has long been one of rapid growth. But as policymakers pivot to focus on the quality - instead of the velocity - of growth, investors are turning their attention to something more long-lasting: shareholder returns. Dividends and buybacks are moving up the agenda of regulators and companies in China, generating interest for investors across the market, even in sectors of the so-called ‘old' economy. In this episode, Catherine Yeung, Investment Director, and Marty Dropkin, Head of Equities for Asia Pacific, are joined by two of Fidelity International's portfolio managers: Lynda Zhou and Dale Nicholls. Together, they explore a change in the mindset of Chinese management teams, which industries are most prepared to ramp up payouts for their shareholders, and the role of regulators and investors in the process.
