"How can one small business — often operating in an industry with razor-thin margins — both turn a profit and properly hire, train, and support workers overcoming barriers to employment? Over the course of last summer, I found out." This summer, MBA student Leah Budson (MIT Sloan School of Management) worked with Boston-based employment social enterprise Bikes Not Bombs as a REDF Farber Fellow. Along the way, she gained valuable insights into how employment social enterprises can drive value for employees, customers, and the community at the same time. Read Leah's reflections here: https://lnkd.in/evWxbAzH And applications for the 2025 Farber Fellowship are now open! Use your summer to support transformative change with your business skills. https://lnkd.in/eV3QRiCh #mba #summerfellowship #farber #socialimpact

I was trying to find something witty to justify this post - I couldn't, so here it is, I'm just bragging a bit. Whilst all of the political uncertainty has been happening for the last three months we have continued growing YFM Equity Partners, and supporting more Entrepreneurs to grow their businesses. - We have completed 3 new investments Fuuse, Spotless Water and Ohalo. - Had 5 new people join the team: Christina Tymviou, Jack Redwood and Oliver Wheatley joining as Investment Managers, Francesca Barnes as Origination Manager, and Michael Newton as Rev Ops Manager to support our portfolio companies on their growth journey. - A great exit for one of our portfolio - 3 Students starting their summer placements across our Manchester, Leeds and London offices - we work with SEO London https://lnkd.in/dXsVes-Z to find students from under represented backgrounds. - And, perhaps my favourite bit: 5 internal promotions: Jen Townshend and Roshan Puri join the YFM Equity Partners Partnership, Laura Wiggins (née Sisson) moves up to Investment Director, Katie Jade Harrison and Callum Long both promoted to Investment Manager. We cannot ignore the macro uncertainty in the market right now, but we do know that Entrepreneurs are still building great businesses and if you are looking for Capital to help you do that - either to go faster to buyout existing shareholders - then we would be keen to see if we can help.
