You've been running an agricultural cooperative in Mali for three years. 80 farmers. Correct results. A solid reputation. A foreign investor — impact funds based in Paris — It offers CFAF 500 million. In return: 60% of the shares, strategic decisions come back, and a total buy-back clause in five years if growth targets are not met.
Without that money, you can continue on a small scale. With this money, you can triple your size, mechanize, export. But you're losing control of what you built.
Do you accept?
- Accept : accelerated growth, wider impact, at the price of decision-making autonomy.
- Refuse : keep control, grow slowly, keep control of your vision.
