From Central America to Africa: how to transfer agricultural innovation without breaking ecosystems

Testimonials
What the team members say about working for us.
“Always motivated by the joy of giving, and after years of traditional philanthropy, we discovered that the best way to foster development and inclusion is to drive entrepreneurial activity. Since then, we have applied a hybrid model combining investments and donations to improve the livelihoods of those with fewer opportunities.”
María Ángeles León
President
“We are not alone; we are investing in consolidating an impact ecosystem that allows us to be close to entrepreneurs, listen to all voices, learn together, and never lose sight of the long term.”
Myriam Estarrona
Management and Projects
“Arriving at the Open Value Foundation was one of those gifts that life reserves for you when you least expect it. More than a team, I have found a family of committed people who work with their hearts to improve the lives of the most vulnerable.”
Ana Carreras
Administration
“Data is important, but so is knowing how to present it; making information understandable, relatable and engaging helps its social impact to reach more people.”
Elena Vela
Communication
“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”
The great social challenges we face are not solved by isolated actions or short-term solutions. They require collaboration, trust, and a shared vision among organisations that, by uniting capabilities and resources, can generate a much deeper and more sustainable impact.

“Mobilising catalytic capital to unlock opportunities where others only see risk is one of the most powerful ways to turn intention into impact.”
Mónica Vásquez
Catalytic Ventures
“Catalytic capital is patient, flexible, and risk-tolerant investment capital. It is a key lever for impact investing to reach its full potential. For catalytic capital investors, social impact is the key driver of their investment decisions.
Icíar Loring
Catalytic Ventures
“True leadership is not based on imposing, but on inspiring and supporting the growth of others. A good leader drives people to discover and trust their capabilities. They do not seek dependent followers, but autonomous and confident individuals.”
