\nRichard Catherall\xa0is Executive Director of Cyprus-based\xa0Katarsis Ventures, which\xa0works primarily in transition states and post-conflict zones to help make social change happen by\xa0enabling big money to connect with big, undiscovered ideas. Catherall also has a U.K. focus, through\xa0Radical Capital, which aims to shape the UK social investment market.
\nCatherall says, "I am investing and actively involved in nurturing the conditions for innovation, supporting leadership through enterprise and encouraging investment in the social\xa0economy. The social economy is growing in the space between how the market provides, where the state intervenes and the increasing expectations and\xa0aspirations of people. In this space social entrepreneurs seek to solve problems, realize opportunities, shape and create markets through their products and\xa0services."
