AGEN Opportunities for Entrepreneurs
Step 2: Identifying Gaps in the Value Chain
 Use meeting with entire value chain
o Creates sense of ownership
o Allows each member to see whole picture
o Creates problem solving relationship
 Be prepared to revise and revise again
 Be intentional about principles when
identifying gaps
o Agronomic services business
o Means of engaging minority and low resource
farmers
 Key Questions:
o Can someone make a profit
by performing this service
or making this product?
o Should this gap be filled by
a non-profit value chain
partner and need to be
subsidized? By whom?
Step 3: Determine Link Between Gaps and Business
Opportunities
Step 4: Feasibility Studies
 Start with business that will be selling directly to
consumer
 Determine market size and competitive pricing
 Determine costs of production or service
 Determine equipment needs and costs
 Risk Analysis
o Market risks
o Financial risks
o Operational risks
o Human resources risks
o Regulatory risks
 Develop clear mitigation strategies for each risk
 One page
 Based on information and data gathered through
feasibility study process
 How will this business make money?
 Discuss steps from inputs to delivering to consumer
 Stage business model to ensure early success
 Keep in Mind: Businesses are interrelated. All should
be launched at same time. Reality: Who is first?
 Example: Seed Crushing Operation. Diversify inputs and
services from the start.
Step 5: Business Model
 Integrated model:
o Profit and Loss Projections
o Balance Sheet Projections
o Cashflow Projections
 Determine capital needs
o Create asset listing and anticipated costs
o Use cashflow model to determine working capital needs
throughout first 3 years
o Develop Sources and Uses Table
Step 6: Financial Model
 Ask community leaders and bankers to identify
potential investors and make introductions
 Secure initial interest /commitment from investors
 Identify potential entrepreneurs through investors
 Encourage investors to raise additional questions to
test feasibility of ventures
 Triple Bottom Line: financial, social, environmental =
impact YOUR community
 Do not overpromise!
 Don’t force investors into your intended structure
Step 7: Meeting with Potential Investors
 Beginning with first meeting in community, ask for
entrepreneurs. Start creating the “buzz”
 Ask investors to identify entrepreneurs. They would
rather invest in their “friends”
 Publish stories in the local paper about opportunities
 Hold community meeting to discuss entrepreneurial
opportunities and results of feasibility studies
 Be intentional and creative about including interested
entrepreneurs from all parts of the community
 Too many interested entrepreneurs?
Step 8: Identify Entrepreneurs
 During value chain construction, engage financing
partners and gauge interest
 Equity = patient capital
o Friends and family
o Investment holding company to secure out of state
investors
o Angel investor network
 Bank finance = interest only for 6 months
 Seek out alternative lenders (CDFIs)
 Exit Strategy: Create strategy that will allow
entrepreneurs to buy out investors after 3 to 5 years
Step 9: Capitalization of Entrepreneurs
 Soft launch = ensure everything is working according
to plan
 Celebrate: Engage the press and community
 Support: Provide intensive technical assistance
throughout launch phase
 Collect data and document so business can be
replicated in other communities
 Revise feasibility study, business model and financial
model to reflect reality
Step 10: Launch, Celebrate and Support
 You are only laying the ground work for the
private sector
 Be aware when you need to get out of the way
 Continue to be the keeper of the values!
The Pitfall: Playing Value Chain “God”
Thank you!
