Innovation Edge

Innovation Edge is an innovation catalyst and social impact investor.

We support social entrepreneurs and organisations to develop, test and launch innovative solutions to early childhood challenges. More than 6 out of 10 children in South Africa are at risk of never reaching their full potential. Over 60% of South Africa’s children live in poverty. Challenging life experiences during their first six years, compounded by systemic failure, reduce their possibility of present-day and future well-being. Our investments aim to improve the chances of children’s life-long success by influencing the quality of their first six years of life.
