Comprehensively capitalizing inspired innovations to tackle global issues.™
Welcome to the Global Giant Trust
and Global Giants Limited.
The Need
What is a global giant?
A global giant is a societal ill that stands opposed to human flourishing.
Advanced leaders fight giants, examples being SDGs
Geographic, societal examples
- Poverty & unemployment
- Lack of access to infrastructure
- Water, electricity, transportation
- ITC, information, learning
- Healthcare, medicines
- Forfeiture of asset stewardship
- “-isms” (Sexism, ageism, determinism, tribalism, etc.)
Industry examples
- Bonded labor (cacao, cotton, palm oil, mining, etc.)
- Asset plundering (minerals, forests, fishing, etc.)
- Supply chain injustices, pollution
- Suppression of novel solutions (Pharma, energy, food, etc.)
- Mass urbanization
Unpacking our Purpose
“Comprehensively capitalizing inspired innovations to tackle global issues.”
01
Comprehensively capitalizing
All types of capital, including digital, spiritual and organizational capital
02
Inspired InnovationsTM
Businesses or products that pass the test of being inspired, not just any good idea
03
To tackle global issues
We will only invest in things that are of high importance to God and humanity
Our organizing principle for investments is not returns but the downing of giants
04
“So that…”
Society is transformed and the kingdom of God is advanced
Purpose
Why Global Giants?
Investor
(Impacter)
Inventor
Saw a need in early 2000’s
- New inventions coming from believers that address genuine problems
- Emergence of impact driven investors wanting to make a difference
- But they “misread” each other
Niche solutions do not transform society
- Each one working on their own does not do the job
- Often people of faith and purpose target small, niche problems
- Societal challenges are seen as “giants” too big to tackle
Returns on Financial Capital alone do not tell the whole story
Need for a “mechanism” to
- Ensure fair returns, equity, accountability
- Moderate greed, fear
- Help investors and inventors be co-impacters
- Measure impact/returns in a healthy way
Approach
Our approach
Step
1
Find in context
Transforming society initiative. Giants being tackled. rēp Ventures – 400+ CO’s. Giant tacklers with rēp network. Kingdom Business Assessment
Step
2
Evaluate
Inspired Innovation. Focus Areas. Economic viability. Team: Head, Hands, Heart. LEMON. Leadership Readiness. 5-fold Ministers.
Step
3
Finance
Local financing + Overseas financing. Access to investor network. Kingdom investor assessment.
Step
4
Accelerate / Incubate
The i4 Center: Infrastructure. Comraderie. Instruction. Accountability, governance, reporting. Accelerate “Collaboratives”.
Step
5
Nurture Community
Impact network(s), complementors, collaborators. rēp Directory. Likeminded community, belonging family. Governance. Bizcipleship (Mentoring, mutual peer-to-peer discipling).
Approach
The “Find in Context” piece is different.
- Support Giant-tacklers within rēp community
- Start with Transforming Society field trip (Venture) by trained team
- Discover Assets, Sphere Health, Called Corporations, People of Peace
- Identify the Giants
- Identify organizations needing repurposing
- Determine role of Capital to grow existing or seed new businesses
Many investment portfolios focus narrowly on a technology, organization or even leader: Global Giants focused on the human flourishing of communities that, when designed to be sustainable, offer a blended return that minimizes risk and optimizes impact.
A blended approach
Steady ROI
We draw past clients from the rēp base and capitalize them for expanded reach
- Replication, redeployment of known business
- Market + x%
- Equity stake or Revenue sharing
Spearhead
Surfaced through Transforming Society ventures, “missing” businesses are incubated and grown as part of a geographic portfolio
- Filling gaps, tackling giants
- Source, Incubate, Accelerate at The I4 Center
- Higher risk, higher return, higher stake
Structural
Providing the power, water, ICT and other infrastructure elements to projects
- Infrastructure investments
- Blending investments into overall capital plan
- PPAs and long-term collaborations
